‘We Ask Joey To Do A Lot:’ Teryl Austin Confident Porter Jr. Will ‘Bounce Back’ After Six-Penalty Game

Pittsburgh Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. had a rough performance in Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals, getting penalized six times while primarily matching up with WR Tee Higgins. While Pittsburgh took home a 44-38 win, it was one of the worst games of Porter’s career, and it also included a dropped interception. It’s not a good time for Porter to start struggling with Pittsburgh entering the home stretch of the regular season and looking to put itself in position for a high seed in the playoffs, but Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin doesn’t think that last week’s performance will become an issue for Porter.
