The Bengals played the Browns twice (30th rush D) and the Dolphins (27th rush D) in the last 4 games of the season.

He did well against the 6th ranked Patriots rush D, but then you have to look at the context that when you lose by 21 points, they are going to let you run all day long for decent gains because it's in their interest to let the clock run and end the game.

Mixon's 4 100-yard games in 2019 came against...
Browns 30th rush D
Browns 30th rush D
36 point loss against the Ravens
21 point loss against the Patriots

Also worth noting that Mixon averaged under 2.5 yards per carry in 2 of the last 5 games of the season. I wouldn't call that "excelled".

Mixon vs Browns' 30th Rush D: 49 carries/308 yards (6.29 YPC)/3 rush TD
Mixon vs other 14 games: 229 carries/829 yards (3.62 YPC)/2 rush TD
