It may not be more than a 1 week thing, since Pitt is so good at filling gaps and playing sound.
If the run game looks, over the next few weeks, more like it has all season, then it was just the Browns. I think the light finally came on for Mixon though, and he's less interested in being the next "patient" LBell and more interested in being the new Joe Mixon.
I also believe something might have finally clicked with Mixon ! Whether it's not trying to be Bell ? Just decided to run harder ? Tapped his inner Earl Campbell ? I dunno ? Fingers crossed it continues !
But I'm just not willing to believe everything is suddenly hunky dory and fine with the O-line. If we see continued success against the Steelers this week it'll make me a believer.
