Joe Mixon Scores, Guts Out 68 Yards

one year ago

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (chest) experienced some tough sledding in Sunday's 24-18 win over the Buffalo Bills, scraping up 68 scrimmage yards via 14 carries for 37 yards and five catches for 31 yards. Mixon plowed his way past the goal line for six points on Cincinnati's second drive of the contest. In an otherwise quiet night, the 27-year-old later got the Bengals into victory formation after making a defender miss on a five-yard gain for a first down to ice the game in the fourth quarter. Mixon looked as explosive as he had all season with 120 total yards in the Week 8 win over the San Francisco 49ers, but he took a bit of a step back in that department on Sunday night. Nevertheless, the former Pro Bowler is deserving of high-end RB2 evaluation in a Week 10 home date with a bit of a run-funnel Houston Texans defense.
