Honestly, looks like a really good day by the offensive line, creating push off the defensive line and winning the trenches.
Joe Mixon is so talented that when he gets to that second level, he's hard to stop and his mix of speed and size makes him a challenge. If you can get him a good yard or two, and into the 'next level' he has breakaway talent, on every play. I don't think we have had a running back this talented or with this much potential since Corey Dillion.
Also, shout out to Hewitt. Looks like maybe 30% of our successful run plays utilized him, but no doubt, that final drive was a great combination of the line and Hewitt sealing with some great blocks. Both huge gains on that final drive came with significant help from Hewitt.
Def. Mixon did a much better job of getting to the LOS quick and making his decision on the run. None of that standing around waiting for a hole to open up "patience" thing. LBell has amazing explosiveness which allows him to do that.
Hewitt was long overdue.
