I think several factors play in here. Teams figured out Chase was a #1 threat and started doubling him. Mixon stopped trying to be a finesse runner and started just hitting the holes hard. Play calling seems to be less predictable too (a la jay gruden).
What i'm most interested in is their ability to adjust at the half. How many times have we seen Marvin play to not lose (when ahead) or stick to the first half game plan (when behind)?
Leveraging Mixon though...that's only going to work as long as he's not trying to be Barry Sanders and dance his way to a first down (which he was doing in previous weeks).
