The rookie has been a nice addition to the Bengals. Fans of the HBO show Game of Thrones got a treat on Saturday with a matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Pittsburgh rookie Joey Porter Jr., who wasn’t afraid to criticize Bengals quarterback Tyler Boydand’s bad comments about the Steelers, shared the same sentiment with his players during the NBC broadcast.
The first time the Bengals got the ball, it was time for Porter and the rest of the Steelers defense to introduce themselves to the spectators. When it came to Porterland, he was not shy and they called themselves the “King of the North”. In the context of Game of Thrones. Porterland’s appearance sparked outrage among NFL fans.
This X user, formerly Twitter, thought it was ironic that Porter celebrated that title when the Steelers were in last place in the AFC North.
Joey Porter Jr.: King of the North! To think that we are in the final stage of the division… I feel very ashamed. “Joey Porter Jr. – King of the North”.
NBC’s player bios seem to take on a life of their own, with players eschewing the traditional format of listing their names and the colleges they attended to make their bios more interesting.
Porter delivered perhaps one of the best episodes of the season with a Game of Thrones reference.
