Will Joey Porter Jr. Get Too Handsy Covering Eagles WR A.J. Brown?

Will Joey Porter Jr. get too handsy covering Eagles WR A.J. Brown?

Even if Saquon Barkley is the focal point of the Eagles’ offense, Joey Porter Jr. and the Steelers would be foolish to overlook A.J. Brown. One of the most talented wide receivers in the game, he isn’t putting up his usual numbers. But you can largely chalk that up to a lacking volume of targets. Nobody throws the ball less than the Eagles do—and nobody runs it more.

The Eagles can get away with that for one simple reason: they’re winning. In fact, they have won nine straight games, so there’s no sense in altering a working formula.
