Jaguars' A.J. Bouye to Big Ben: 'Careful what you wish for'

Cornerback A.J. Bouye heard Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger tell reporters that he wanted the rematch with the Jacksonville Jaguars in a bid to atone for his five-interception game in Week 5.

While Roethlisberger got his wish with Sunday afternoon's AFC divisional round game at Heinz Field, Bouye offered some words of his own.

"Be careful what you wish for," the 26-year-old Bouye told The Florida Times-Union on Monday, one day after the Jaguars posted a 10-3 win over the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card game.

"This is what he wanted, so this is what he is going to get."

Roethlisberger hopes it's a different tale than the one that played out on Oct. 8, as the Jaguars jolted the Steelers en route to a 30-9 victory. After the contest, the 35-year-old quarterback openly told reporters that "maybe I don't have it anymore."

He proved that he did late in the regular season, finishing with 16 touchdown passes and only five interceptions over the final five games.

Roethlisberger didn't mince words last week when asked which team he would like to face first in the playoffs. Without hesitating, Roethlisberger said the Jaguars.

Jacksonville, however, has gotten the better of Roethlisberger, posting a 5-4 mark all-time -- including a 31-29 win in a 2007 AFC wild-card game at Heinz Field. Roethlisberger threw for two touchdowns and three interceptions in that game.
