People will claim that Mixon has defeated the doubters and they knew all along he just needed more carries and time to get comfortable. Then, if he goes back to running for 3 yards per attempt, they will be absolutely silent until he has another good game and then they will bust out the "told you so's" again.
I am really happy that he did so well yesterday and would love for him to find some consistent success, but I am not betting on it yet. He has looked awful for most of the season.
Just look at Bears fans right now. Lol... Fields throws for 123 yards at 4.4 yards per attempt, but rushes for 178 yards and suddenly he's not just a franchise QB but possibly the best QB in the league and has reinvented the QB position to the new era of the NFL. Passing is no longer important. Nevermind that he lost, is on his second straight season of sub-60% completion, is averaging under 150 passing yards per game, and is on pace for 170-ish rushes this season that will end his career very early.
