It’s been a frustrating season thus far for former Oklahoma star Joe Mixon. Through three games, Mixon rushed for 164 yards and a disappointing 3.2 yards per attempt.
On Sunday, Mixon had one of the better games of his four-year NFL career in helping lead his Cincinnati Bengals to a 33-25 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It was Cincinnati’s first win of the season.
Mixon rushed for 151 yards on 25 attempts and scored two touchdowns on the ground. Mixon also finished with six receptions for 30 yards and another score.

Mixon came just short of his career-high in rushing yards, which he set in Week 16 last season with 162 yards.
The Bengals are now 1-2-1 on the season and face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5.
