OBJ 'Strapped!' Steelers Rookie Joey Porter Jr. Brags About Beating Baltimore Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. has only been in the league for a minute. But he''s already establishing himself as a talker ... and maybe as a player.

He recorded his first interception of his young NFL career last Sunday in Week 5 as the Steelers topped the Baltimore Ravens, 17-10. ... and he did it while covering Lamar Jackson target Odell Beckham Jr. as the two battled in the end zone for the ball.

After the play, Porter Jr. retreated to the sideline but was talking about the play and said he "strapped his (OBJ's) old (butt)."

It was in a sense a game-saving play given the circumstances; if the Ravens scored a touchdown there, they probably win the game. Instead, the outcome puts the pair of AFC North rivals both at 3-2 as the Steelers got the ball back and scored the game-winning touchdown thanks to a 41-yard catch from George Pickens.

That 3-2 overall record is a first-place record in the division. ... but it is now the Steelers who have at least temporary rights in terms of the AFC North lead.

Lamar Jackson 'Never Dreamed' He Would Play in London

The Ravens, meanwhile, have to move on - all the way to London, that is - as they play overseas in NFL Week 6 in a meeting with the Tennessee Titans.
