![]() ![]() Where the Steelers offense hobbled, Joe Mixon feasted the Bengals running back continued his fine run with 165 rushing yards for two touchdowns to follow up his 123 yards against the Raiders in Week 11 while making it three successive games of two rushing scores. He is taking full advantage of his second coming. He has discovered new purpose and fulfilled an expectation of accountability in a Bruce Arians team that refuses to carry passengers on a day when Tom Brady and his aerial attack encountered rare hiccups, Fournette was there to offer assurance over a ground game capable of shouldering the load and providing the balanced offense needed in January.įournette now has 621 rushing yards for seven touchdowns and 51 catches for 354 yards and one score on the year. It isn't so much redemption for Fournette after seeing his career stall in Jacksonville, but more so reignition of a reputation that placed him in the company of Dalvin Cook as the nation's two leading backs coming out of college in 2017. "He said we were a special group, that's one of the reasons he came back. "He definitely said some stuff that got us going," said outside linebacker Shaq Barrett. His performance may have been crowned by a 28-yard burst to the house to seal the win with 29 seconds left, but it was perhaps better defined by the galvanising speech he delivered in the locker room at half-time with Tampa trailing 24-14. Instead he lured end zone camera men in his direction in scoring four touchdowns, compensating handsomely for a fluidity-lacking passing game with 100 rushing yards for three scores off 17 carries while also reeling in seven catches for 31 yards and another six points to lift the Bucs to victory over the Colts.
