Joe Mixon
Joe Mixon was undeniably the most electrifying player on the field as the Cincinnati Bengals locked horns against the Carolina Panthers. To those who missed the live action, let me tell you that the former team dropped 35 points in the first half of the game. To be price, 28 of those came in the second quarter, all the Touchdowns came on the offensive side of the ball.
Now let’s focus upon the legend of one player – the running back of Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Mixon, who scored 3 Touchdowns on the ground and caught Quarterback – Joe Burrow’s Touchdown pass as wells. Moreover, the 26-year-old added 113 yards on the ground on 15 carries and had 58 yards on four catches for his team as they started the game in top gear since the opening whistle.
To give you an idea of what Joe Mixon’s attacking prowess did – the Cincinnati Bengals had 311 total yards on 7 drives. While on the other hand Carolina Panthers went into halftime with just over 30 total yards on six offensive possessions.
Talking about the four Touchdowns Joe Mixon had, the first one was a simple two-yard rush to the left side to go up early. After 14-0, it was a Joe Mixon show for the Bengals. Three touchdowns came for Mixon in the second quarter, including a 12-yard pass with a scrambling Joe Burrow finding him with just a few seconds left in the first half itself.
Now let me tell you what this running back has achieved after this staggering feat – Joe Mixon finished the game vs Carolina Panthers with 153 yards on 22 carries, while hauling in four receptions for 58 yards. This made him only the sixth player in the Super Bowl era with at least 200 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns in a single game. Hopefully, Mixon continues in the same form if the Cincinnati Bengals are wanting to repeat their success from last season, in the playoffs this year as well.
