During Cincinnati’s first preseason possession against the Bears, Bengals center Billy Price took a Neil Armstrong-sized step to his left, extending his arms and guiding defensive tackle Eddie Goldman down at the line of scrimmage. Running back Joe Mixon cut behind his starting center and Price’s assignment was accomplished. Unfortunately, Akiem Hicks, who received a quick shove by right guard Trey Hopkins, was too quick for right tackle Bobby Hart’s backside block. Mixon was limited to a two-yard gain with more than 11 minutes remaining in the first quarter.
