The Jacksonville Jaguars wanted to rub their victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in the face of Mike Mitchell.
In the week leading up to the AFC divisional playoff game between the teams, Mitchell was looking past the Jaguars and talking about how the Steelers would get a rematch with the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game and win.

Then before the game Mitchell also brought attention to himself.

Well, well, well. The Steelers were already looking ahead to a game against the Patriots and forgot to take care of business on Sunday.
Clearly Jacksonville took note of Mitchell’s remarks, because they were calling for him after the game.

This should teach Pittsburgh not to commit the deadly sin of failing to take things one game at a time. That seemed to be a team-wide problem, as Le’Veon Bell did the same thing.
