Stop Joe Mixon

There aren’t many offensive playmakers on the Bengals, but running back Joe Mixon is the closest thing. Mixon’s had a horrendous season but his numbers of late have been encouraging for Cincinnati. He is averaging 102.6 total yards per game (86.3 rushing and 16.3 receiving) on 22.5 touches.

The Jets’ elite rush defense should be able to hold Mixon, but they’ll need to account for him – and Gio Bernand – in the passing game.
