Steelers’ Mike Mitchell Needs to Cool It

Some noise has been made this week about the possible return of one of the NFL’s dirtiest players, Cincinnati Bengals’ linebacker Vontaze Burfict in their division match-up with the Steelers.

I’m not as concerned with Burfict (although, keep him away from Ben’s knees if they both play) as I am a member of the Steelers’ team, Mike Mitchell.

Mitchell has had a few dust-ups since joining the Steelers as a free agent from Carolina last year. The first came in the closing minutes of a game against the Jets last year, when Mitchell attempted to leap the line as the Jet’s QB Michael Vick was kneeling on the ball to run out the clock.
