Can Joey Porter Jr. really shut down Scary Terry, or is he biting off more than he can chew?

Coach Quinn’s squad, the Commanders are looking pretty unstoppable right now. They’re rolling with confidence. But Mike Tomlin’s squad isn’t backing down, though. They are focused, confident to take on anyone, and not letting the Commanders’ recent streak shake them up. Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. recently expressed his excitement about facing Jayden Daniels and his squad. “This is a 5-star matchup. We know that they’re a good team. We’re going into their building and it’s gonna be a tough environment for any other football team,” said the 24-year-old CB. The son of former NFL player Joey Porter, Porter Jr. is ready to bring his A-game this Sunday. He’s also excited to face off against the Commanders’ star wide receiver, Terry McLaurin, and isn’t backing down from the challenge.

Further, the Steelers‘ CB also mentioned how Jayden Daniels has been a solid performer this year. “But Jayden Daniels, he has been putting great, great stuff on tape. He’s coming in hot. Him and his coordinator got a great understanding of how to make the offense run through him as a rookie. And I can’t say nothing but good things about how he’s been playing.”
