Right. And I don't get that whole "we weren't running well, so we should have stopped" stance some take. Like the pass was working that great

Got to keep trying it. Mixon ain't McCaffery, but if the Steelers want to stop him, they have to play him, no matter if they "won on the previous 4 runs. That opens up passing. And he could break a few. I trust him with the ball more than Browning. The porous o-line on a rush gets Mixon tackled. The porous o-line on a pass gets Browning sacked, injured, strip sacked, arm hit for int, etc...

tonight mixon has a built in excuse because of the jaguars run D. Chase Brown should get the same excuse if he gets 5 carries for 15 yards.
