Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon gave his team its first lead of the 2023 season on Monday night with a 14-yard touchdown run.
The score only gave the Bengals a 13-9 advantage over the Los Angeles Rams in the third quarter — but it was a big deal for a team that entered the night 0-2 and had a tough go of it with Joe Burrow still playing on the hurt calf.
With the season on the line, fans were certainly loving the fact the team had finally earned its first lead in two 10 quarters of action.
Here’s a look at the play and fan reaction.
