Porter was not happy with the amount of trash talk from Jeudy.
Porter got the last laugh with the win, and he made the Browns receiver know about it after the game.
“He got a lot of talking to do. I wasn’t really worried about him. He’s gotta handle that L,” Porter said.
Porter had missed the Steelers’ previous three games with a hamstring injury suffered during the Steelers’ Week 1 win at the New York Jets.
Last Sunday was the first game since Week 1 that the entire starting secondary was on the field together.
Porter and Jeduy will see each other again in the Steelers-Browns rematch on Dec. 28 in Cleveland.
Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen was fined $23,186 for a hit on Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel that was deemed a blow to the head or neck.
