Mike Mitchell was catching the hate from all angles after his Pittsburgh Steelers lost their AFC divisional playoff game to the Jacksonville Jaguars at home on Sunday.
In the week leading up to the game, the Steelers safety was talking about a rematch with the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game rather than focusing on the upcoming game with the Jaguars.

The Jaguars kept that in mind and were sure to comment on it after the game. The team’s official Twitter account zinged Mitchell by telling him he could play the Steelers-Patriots rematch … on a video game.
You can play them on @EAMaddenNFL all offseason. #DTWD https://t.co/ykG44quI7d

The Jags were clearly motivated by Mitchell’s comments. After the game, Jags players were also calling for him.
