Mixon ran for 66 yards on 17 attempts and added 11 yards and a touchdown on four catches during Sunday' 24-10 loss to the Rams.
Mixon tied up the game midway through the second quarter, slipping out of the backfield on the rollout and connecting with Andy Dalton for a one-yard touchdown. It was Mixon's second receiving touchdown in as many weeks and third overall despite not recording a rushing touchdown this season. Mixon has been the bell-cow back for Cincinnati, including Sunday's season-high 21 touches. However, in averaging just 3.2 yards per carry and 5.8 yards per catch, Mixon is the equivalent to a "volume scorer" in the NBA. After the bye, he'll take on a Ravens defense that held him to 39 total yards in Week 6.
