Excellent article about Mitchell pouting after the game.
Enjoy!
What a great article ....unbiased and a look inside the squealers ....
"When we'd blitz, he'd go right over us," Williams said of Bortles. "When we'd stay back, he'd go underneath. He did a really good job. They played really well."
The Jaguars did. Full credit. But it doesn't excuse that the Steelers were badly outsmarted and outschemed, given that their opponent should have been rendered as one-dimensional as it had been by most opponents through the season. Instead, they were the ones looking around in a daze.
I asked Heyward about the decision to blitz a lot early, then not at all in the second half.
I suggest everyone to read this article and get the insight of what our Jaguars did to the squealers.
Dilly Dilly!

Guess I should’ve started a thread for it, just wanted to be appropriate in code of conduct since there was a seemingly relevant thread to put it in.
Oh well, I’ll instead hope this thinly-veiled bump gives it a second chance at life. Go Jags!!!
I just got a chance to read it and thought it spelled out exactly what happened in that game on their side. The fact that they were at such a loss for words because they were so shocked they actually lost to us shows just how much they didn't give us a second thought all week running up to the game. I guess they thought our thumping of them earlier in the season was a fluke. Maybe next time they'll think twice.
Bingo. I also thought the dichotomy of their players’ reactions was revealing. Some, of the loud-mouth, swagger variety, were stunned because they lost to a perceived-to-be inferior opponent. Others, of the we-better-be-ready-cus-they-already-beat-us variety, were not pleased at their teammates’ smugness.
I think it reflects very nicely on our locker room dynamic compared to theirs. The loud ones defend the quiet ones, but at the end of the day, everyone is on the same page, everyone embraces TEAM, and everyone plays FOR each other, not apart from each other. Malik vehemently defending Blake was one of my favorite moments of the season.
Good read on the article...I thought I recall a very similar article after we beat the Steelers in the playoffs in 2007? It was the same, "did we really just get beat by the Jags, the world must be ending" type of article.
Anyone else remember that?
And to think, if some of those TD passes from Ben wouldn't have been perfectly thrown, (perfectly defensed by Bouye on 2) and perfectly caught the scored wouldn't have even been close at all.
