CINCINNATI -- For the first time in his playing career, Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon dropped to a knee and said a prayer when he scored a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Of his 19 NFL touchdowns and numerous others in high school and college, this one was his favorite. On Sunday, during the NFL's "My Cleats, My Cause" initiative, he donned pink Nikes in memory of Peyton Jones, the sister of a former teammate who was 17 when she died of cancer earlier this year.
