Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther got right to the point in calling out Steelers linebackers coach Joey Porter for his involvement in Saturday's ugly wild-card game between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
According to the The Cincinnati Enquirer, Guenther on Monday called Porter "an embarrassment to the coaching profession" for his actions in the closing moments of the game.Bengals players said Porter cursed at them after coming on the field to check on injured wide receiver Antonio Brown, which prompted Cincinnati cornerback Adam Jones to confront the former NFL linebacker and draw a 15-yard penalty that set up the Steelers' game-winning field goal.

"Well, then that goes to show you what kind of organization they're running," he said.
More Guenther on Porter: "I'm sure Mike Tomlin will probably pay his fine."
