Beating KC in the AFC Championship Mixon looked unstoppable down the stretch in the fourth and OT. Everybody was happy then. He’ll be fine with better blocking this year. He knows he’s under the microscope
To be great you have to be consistently good, I don't think Mixon is that. If the O line is really good then any average RB is going to look good. Burrow is exceptional, even when he's playing poorly you don't expect him to play poorly, we expect bad things out of Mixon not the other way around.

I’d encourage you to listen to Zac Taylor on Solomon Wilcots podcast the other day. Zac acted like he was MVP of the team. Solomon said opposing coaches talk about him all the time to him. Seemed perplexed by the fans pushback. He neutered all the naysayers raving about his shiftiness and physicality and team leadership. Seriously. Not exaggerating.
