Mixon's a playmaker, but he also can help neutralize the pass rush and keep them in check, especially with our line struggling to protect Burrow.
I'm not saying that we need to come out and run the ball into the dirt, but we only ran him once on the first drive twice the second drive, and none the third drive.
We won, but Burrow got killed. We need to establish the run game, especially with runners like Mixon and then also Perine.
It will get cold in Cincinnati, making it harder to throw, and we'll also need to control the game more when there other team's offense is clicking better than the Ravens were today.
Think Taylor sees it or am I wrong?
Hard to complain about a game where the running game was getting stuffed, so the passing game went off.
Mixon will get plenty next week.
