If just to save Mixon's legs for the 4th (if that helps), he may run better knowing he has half the carries. I feel like when we tried to split carries with Gio it didn't work well, we'd give Gio a whole quarter, then random switch to Mixon. The flow of the game matters, if Mixon isn't doing well - try Perine! Maybe the defense isn't prepared for Perine sometimes if he's subbed in randomly. Nick Chubb is top 2-3 RB in the league yet they still split his reps with Kareem Hunt, who's no slouch either. Mixon can have his reps split.
