Perine is better than Mixon

Yeah, and we are all in love with Perine right now, like we were for Higgins and kind of down on Boyd.  Boyd, albeit with a key dropped TD, was 4 receptions for 60 yards on 5 targets (think of what his night could have been without the drop!).  Burrow is SO GOOD at just using the best matchup and finding the holes in the defense.  He have WRs that look HOF one week and have a very pedestrian game the next.  It doesn't mean they suck.

Now, the team has better balance and success running the ball against teams that keep their safeties back.  They have truly reached the "pick your poison" status.
