After playing just seven snaps in Week One against the San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. didn’t play a ton in Week Two.
He was impactful in the snaps he played Monday night against the Cleveland Browns, breaking up a pass on the second drive of the game from the Cleveland Browns.
But it was his last snap of the game that was the most impactful. On a fourth and 9 from the Pittsburgh 49, Porter found himself one-on-one on the right side of the offensive formation against Donovan Peoples-Jones.
Peoples-Jones ran a go route, but Porter was right with him step for step and squeezed the Browns’ receiver to the sideline, forcing an incompletion and a turnover on downs, setting off a wild celebration on the Steelers’ sideline.
