First of all, Joey Porter Jr. isn’t even officially playing on Sunday when the Bengals head to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers.

But if he does play, you know Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will be ready to cook him.

Noted. Now, here are some stats that clearly refute Porter’s claim.

I’m not sure if this is delusion or ignorance, but if you give Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins any bulletin-board material, good luck.

Of course, Porter may not even play this week, as he’s currently listed as questionable for Week 3 after being limited in practice all week. He has yet to play this season amid a lingering contract dispute with the team.

Here’s what’s crazy: Joey Porter’s dad, the infamous Joey Porter Sr., was an awesome trash talker. Yes, he was a nuisance whenever his Steelers played the Bengals. But he knew how to trash talk and get under people’s skin. You would think he’d teach his son a thing or two about that.

I know I’m taking Chase and Higgins to shine vs. the Steelers’ secondary on Sunday, regardless of whether Porter plays or not.
