It’s been a while since the Cincinnati Bengals’ run game looked effective. Coming into Sunday, Joe Mixon was the team’s leading receiver and his best game was a 62 yard rushing, 39 yard receiving performance against the Packers, which included overtime. On Sunday against the Brows, Mixon finished with 114 rushing yards and 1 touchdown as well as 51 yards receiving.
It was the game we had all been waiting for from the rookie second round pick. Afterward, Mixon wasn’t taking sole credit though, he made sure to acknowledge the other people who helped him to achieve his best statistical game yet.
