Steelers CB Fires Bold Trash Talk at Jets Ahead of Week 1 Showdown
Share this article:
PITTSBURGH – The rivalry between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets has already started heating up — and the game hasn’t even kicked off yet. A young Steelers cornerback decided to stir the pot this week, firing off a savage reminder about the Jets’ long postseason drought.
The comments quickly made their way across social media, sending Jets fans into a frenzy and adding even more fuel to Sunday night’s AFC clash at MetLife Stadium.
Steelers Nation, known for embracing a fighter’s mentality, celebrated the jab. Jets fans? Not so much. The line instantly went viral, as NFL media outlets picked up the quote and debated whether it was disrespect or simply truth spoken out loud.
The CB wasn’t interested in sugarcoating anything. With confidence oozing, he doubled down on his belief that the Jets don’t have the track record to scare Pittsburgh. For a Steelers defense built on swagger and physicality, it felt like a throwback to the old-school days of rivalries that were fought as much with words as with pads.
That cornerback is Joey Porter Jr., Pittsburgh’s rising star who is quickly becoming the voice — and attitude — of the secondary.
“The last time you made the playoffs, the iPhone 4 was the newest phone. What has your team done in January since 2011? Go on vacation?” – Joey Porter Jr.
It’s a ruthless line, but one that resonates with reality: the Jets haven’t won a playoff game since 2010. For Porter Jr., the message is clear — history favors Pittsburgh, and until New York proves otherwise, he’s not about to give them respect they haven’t earned.
The Steelers head into Week 1 with swagger, and their young CB just made sure the Jets know it.
