One cannot produce jack squat out of the backfield without sufficient blocking up front. It just doesn’t happen. If the offensive line reverts back to zone blocking you’re going to see more of what happened to Joe Mixon in weeks one through eleven. The “lights coming on” were gaps opened by the offensive line yesterday.
Your other four points are fantastic.
Yeah that's the thing. Mixon probably ran the same way he did all year...there were just holes against the Browns because of blocking.
It's not like he had some huge epiphany on how to run the ball better. The blocking improved.
