So who ya got:

Joe Mixon: 123 rushing yards at over 4.0 YPC and 2 TDs

Trey Hopkins: Looks fully healed and was a force in the middle

Eli Apple: 3 tackles, shutdown coverage, and 1 game clinching INT

Sam Hubbard: 1 sack, 1 fumble recovery, 5 tackles

Evan McPherson: 4 FGs (3 50+ yards)

Early on, it was going to be McPherson, but the way Mixon kept pounding and didn't get upset when the blocking wasn't there early on.  That one run in the fourth (?) quarter?  That HAS to win this weeks "angry runs".  I loved it.  The teams loved it.  

And who else thought if he didn't extend the ball and get that first TD it would have ended up being 3 points?

4.0 YPC is not going to put you in the HOF, but he kept persisting and imposed his will.  I loved it.  

Evan had an incredible day and I am sure that missed XP was due to the turf, but still...he tied an NFL record for three kicks over 50 yards in one game.  I wanted them to take a false start the last one so he could try to break the record.
