Joe Mixon closes 2019 and enters contract year with a bang

A literal bang.

With less than five minutes to play, the Cincinnati Bengals were facing a second-and-four on their own 47-yard line. Up 30-23 on the Cleveland Browns, another score would all but put the game out of reach for the visiting Browns.

For the 26th and final time of the game, the Bengals put the ball in the hands of Joe Mixon. A simple inside zone run from the shotgun had Mixon taking the ball past midfield, the first down marker and plenty more.

In his path stood free safety Sheldrick Redwine, who played college football 40 miles away at Miami University.
