 The presence of Terrell Owens in 2004 led to limited opportunities for Mitchell to catch passes and he showed his frustration on and off the field . When Owens went down with an ankle injury towards the end of the season , Mitchell replaced him as the starter and had a two @-@ touchdown performance in the Divisional Playoff Game against the Minnesota Vikings . After the game , Mitchell said , " I just want to thank my hands for being so great . " In the week prior to Super Bowl XXXIX against the New England Patriots , he created controversy by offending members of the Patriots ' secondary , including Rodney Harrison . He caught one pass for 11 yards in the Super Bowl and was released by the Eagles on May 6 , 2005 . The Kansas City Chiefs signed him shortly after , but he declined to have arthroscopic surgery on his injured knee and he was released before the start of the season . After his NFL career ended , Mitchell bought a barbecue restaurant in Lakeland in 2008 , but the venue was closed in September 2009 .
