Elephants don’t forget, but neither do the Jacksonville Jaguars as their Twitter account savaged Mike Mitchell for looking ahead to the Patriots.

The Jacksonville Jaguars just secured their best win in franchise history when they went to Heinz Field and took down the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Divisional Round. Considering they won three games last season, they’ve been an incredible success story, while Blake Bortles went a long way towards silencing his critics with his clutch performance.

Of course, in order to get to the Super Bowl, the Jaguars have to get through the New England Patriots in Foxborough, the most difficult obstacle they’ll face in these playoffs. For now, they’ll enjoy this win, but they also won’t forget how practically everyone wrote in the Steelers to advance to the Championship Game, including many Steelers players themselves.

After Mike Mitchell looked ahead to a prospective rematch with the Patriots, the Jaguars took a moment after their victory to remind him how unwise it was to gloss over a team that had beaten them 30-9:

The Philadelphia Eagles did something similar after they beat the Atlanta Falcons. Not only were they the first No. 1 seed to go into their Divisional Round game as an underdog, ESPN’s NFL Countdown unanimously picked the Falcons to win. The Eagles captured that moment and shared it on Twitter, but the Jaguars get bonus points since their tweet was far more savage.

Mitchell is hardly the only Steeler that can be accused of looking ahead to the Patriots. Mike Tomlin also said he expects to face the Patriots twice, and proved it with his hilariously awful coaching performance. While Le’Veon Bell also tweeted that he expected to have “two round 2s in back-to-back weeks.”

For the Jaguars, beating the Patriots on the road will present a completely different challenge. But if this win proved anything, it’s that they won’t be afraid of the moment. And if this tweet is indicative of anything, it’s that they have all the swagger in the world.
