You are right, and so is he. It is all those things, Mixon, the defense, coaching, culture, and overall team health. Being able to pull your starters on defense a quarter early after an already "light" day at Vegas (didn't know there was such a thing? Haha) with just 44 snaps on defense also helps to keep everyone fresher for the next game.
This team is set up to make a run and contend for the AFC North title. Do that, and there should be a lot of awards to pass around, but I think the division crown is what they really want. That, and a ticket to the dance. Burrow with an offense that can beat you multiple ways and a defense that has allowed 23 points the last two games combined? I will take that :)
