Steelers Film Room: Mike Mitchell is a beast in the secondary

Steelers free safety Mike Mitchell has show tremendous improvement in his second season with the team. Through ten games he has three interceptions and seven pass break ups.

Free safety Mike Mitchell wouldn't use a torn groin as an excuse for his poor play during his first season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"I hate that this is even a story," Mitchell told ESPN Writer Scott Brown back in January. "We all play hurt. Everyone on the team has injuries so I'm no different than any other player."

Injuries are a part of the game.
