Tee Higgins' mom calls out Joey Porter Jr. to "get off" Bengals WR as Week 13 game vs Steelers heats up
The fierce Week 13 matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers transformed into a more personal story late in the contest.
Joey Porter Jr., a cornerback known for his aggressive style, has been walking a precarious line all season with his physical play. His defensive approach has consistently tested his coaching staff's patience with penalties becoming a regular occurence for him.
Porter Jr.'s infractions reached a spectacular level in Week 13 . With less than nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, he committed two pass-interference penalties in the end zone. These mistakes practically gift-wrapped scoring opportunities for the Bengals, turning potential defensive stops into offensive lifelines.
But Tee Higgins's mother couldn't keep her feelings in. Camilla Stewart's viral outbursts on X showcased her intensity.
"Get tf off him dude"
"He’s been holding him all damn day"
Higgins emerged as a key player in this game. He had five catches for 69 yards and a key touchdown to keep the Bengals in the contest before ultimately falling short.
Porter Jr.'s penalty problem reaches boiling point amidst Higgins' performance
Porter's Jr. penalty record for the day was not good. He had two pass interference calls in the end zone, an illegal hands-to-the-face penalty, and multiple holding infractions to extend Cincinnati's drives.
The Steelers ultimately secured a 44-38 victory, but Porter Jr.'s penalties kept the Bengals competitive. His infractions directly contributed to Tee Higgins' 1-yard touchdown reception and kept Cincinnati's hopes alive when the game seemed to be slipping away.
