For the first two weeks, Joe Mixon was buried on the depth chart.
The Cincinnati Bengals' rookie barely sniffed the field, amassing just 17 carries and 21 total opportunities while the team kept riding veteran Giovani Bernard.
Then, in just one game, that all changed.
Mixon doubled his opportunity totals in Week 3, amassing 18 carries and 3 targets in the first game under new offensive coordinator Bill Lazor. He didn't find the end zone, but it's clear the rookie is now the top dog on this team.
That's how quickly things shift in the NFL.
