After the Bengals changed their scheme in Week 5 of last season, Joe Mixon was the most efficient running back in football. He's an asset as a pass catcher, and Burrow trusts him as a route runner.

Mixon remains an important piece for the 2023 offense. https://t.co/BAkcSaY2Gj

Most efficient by what standard? That’s a vague, non-specific term that lacks substance without the numbers to back it up. That’s the type of stat Fred would come up with.

And what prompted the scheme change? The O-line or the RB? Seems counter-intuitive the “most efficient” RB in the NFL would take a significant pay cut if those stats indicated that type of dominance.
