Anybody Else Think Mixon's Injury Was A Dirty Play?

My bad on posting the same picture twice, but here they are:

Mixon hasn't hit the hole yet, and his leg is bent, which he'd need it bent to keep leverage with the blocker:



Then Mixon gets to the hole, and HE STICKS HIS LEG OUT TO TRIP HIM, AND THERE'S NO OTHER EXPLANATION!  IT'S A DIRTY PLAY:

P.S. you posted the same image twice.

Look above, and he couldn't move his whole body because he was being blocked (or held, but it's the same either way).

He would have stuck his arms out so the refs could see that he was being held.  Sticking his leg out does nothing to draw attention to a hold.  He was trying to trip him.

Ravens player just about hyper-extended his own leg trying to trip Mixon.

Same thing I'm seeing.  Why else would he extend his leg?  Defensive linemen don't do that.  Linemen don't sidestep when engaged because they need their base.

Maybe because I posted the same picture twice is why people couldn't see it, but it's obvious in the two I posted above.
