Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye has a message for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger: Count Jacksonville out at your peril.

The Jaguars will square off with the Steelers after defeating the Buffalo Bills 10-3 on Sunday.

Last week, Roethlisberger was asked which team he'd prefer to face in the divisional round, and he selected the Jaguars.

"Be careful what you wish for," Bouye said, according to Phillip Heilman of Jacksonville.com. "This is what he wanted, so this is what he is going to get."

The Jaguars routed the Steelers 30-9 during their regular-season matchup, as Roethlisberger threw zero touchdowns and five interceptions.

Although the Steelers are heavily favored, Bouye and the Jaguars aren't intimidated by the AFC North powerhouse.

"We remember (the Week 5 game)," Bouye said. "We know they are going to be motivated. We are, too. Everybody thinks we're not going to do it again. We know what we're capable of. We're looking forward to it."
