Heck, even Jeremy Hill even managed to always have a great game versus the Browns...Like I said, they had the 3rd or 4th run defense coming into today (some people are saying 6th, and maybe I looked at total yards and not YPG, but, regardless, it's impressive), which I was impressed with Mixon's running.
I will say that maybe the line did play harder or block better, like one time around the goal line I saw Bodine downfield a few yards and was pushing Mixon into the endzone, which, hey, if they'll only blocking better because they want to give more effort to Mixon, then so be it. Maybe they were just excited for a new guy or maybe they had wanted him all-along.

To everyone saying "oh, it's just the Browns so our line played harder because it's a rivalry." Do you think the Browns weren't playing under the same mentality, but twice as bad since they're winless?! It's not a one-way thing where our team just plays harder or is more angry.
Our line was impressive today. Let's hope they can keep it going.

I agree that that makes it MORE impressive!
