CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals' rushing attack played with little to no leverage at the beginning of the season.
Seventeen. Ten. Two.
Those were some of running back Joe Mixon's rushing yardage totals, one season after he led the AFC in rushing. But after Cincinnati overhauled its run scheme, Mixon has posted a couple of 100-yard performances.
And suddenly, the leader of the Bengals' rushing attack is positioned to carry the most leverage into the offseason.
