The players' theme in the locker room after defeating the Jaguars was 'stacking wins.'
JACKSONVILLE – After winning a game they seemingly had to have, the Steelers left EverBank Field convinced they’ll need another victory this coming Sunday in Cleveland every bit as badly.
“As a team we have to stack ’em,” nickel back Brice McCain maintained after his fourth-quarter pick-six helped the Steelers hold off the Jaguars, 17-9, on Sunday afternoon. “We can’t go one game here, one game there, win, lose. We got to put them together.
“Next week we have another AFC North opponent. We have to put it together like we did this week, get another ‘W.’”
McCain wasn’t the only player looking ahead to Sunday’s rematch with the Browns in the immediate aftermath of Jacksonville.

What I liked about the article is where Mitchell talked about EXECUTION. The blitz play where we had the pick six was designed to make the QB make a quick read and the team EXECUTED it perfectly. Who does the credit go to for this? Part LeBeau for calling that play when the Jags were backed up in their own end, part to the pressure, and part to McClain for "finishing the play" as Mitchell called it.
Also seems that the theme for the rest of the season is "stacking wins"
