The Cincinnati Bengals delivered one of their biggest wins over the Pittsburgh Steelers in franchise history on Sunday, 41-10. The all-out domination of their rivals, led by offensive superstars Joe Burrow, Joe Mixon and Tee Higgins, sees Cincinnati improve to 7-4 on the season, just half a game behind the division-leading Ravens.
Joe Mixon was fired up in the aftermath, and rightfully so. The star running back left Bengals Nation a strong message while walking off the field after the team's historic victory.
Mixon gave a big shoutout to Cincy's 12th man, as the fan base was absolutely electric during the win. Of course, the win wouldn't have been possible without a career night from Mixon, who unloaded for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries. Mixon also caught four passes, though he went backward with the ball, recording -2 receiving yards. Fortunately, that didn't hinder the offense's ability to put up points.
It wasn't just the offense that was firing on all cylinders, however. The defense played an equally big role in the win, sacking Ben Roethlisberger three times, intercepting him twice, and forcing two fumbles out of the 39-year-old, one of which the defense recovered.
Mixon will be hoping to carry his strong performance into the Bengals' Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in what will be the second game of a three-game homestand. The Bengals will be relying on the fan base to stay loud throughout the team's extended stay at home, which ends on Dec. 12 with a clash against the 49ers.
