That being said, Mixon was awful last night. Of all nights, I don't think last night was one where he would have "feasted" with more carries. He was averaging 2.6 yards per carry and was taken down several times in one on one situations where he could have made big plays if he just made someone miss.
Except, of course, when it counted. That was a great play to end the game.
Most of his negative runs were from the awful pitch play which hasn't worked for literally years now. I think they tried that 3 times and it went for negative yards each time. Our line is just not athletic enough and Mixon isn't shifty enough for a play like that. When we did traditional runs we pretty much always stayed on track.
