A.J. Green heaped big praise on teammate Joe Mixon following Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts, comparing him to some of the biggest running backs in the NFL.
"You mention him with Le'Veon or (Todd) Gurley," the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver told the team's official website. "He's there with those guys."
Mixon had 95 yards and a touchdown on the ground and added five receptions for 54 yards through the air in a starring season-opening performance. He is the unquestioned No. 1 running back this season in Cincinnati after being part of a timeshare as a rookie.
