Enough said, right? Mixon’s been a storyline all season largely because he started the year dealing with an injury and the line up front was a mess. Coaches finally adjusted around midseason and now he’s looking at potentially breaking the 1,000-yard mark, which is rather impressive. He’s also the only real shot the Bengals have at generating any sort of offense against a Patriots defense not even permitting 13 points per game on average. If he’s active on the ground and through the air, the Patriots could have some problems on the road. But everyone — clearly — knows what the Bengals will try to do Sunday.
