Joe Mixon carried the ball 25 times for 106 yards in the Houston Texans' 32-12 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in the NFL's first wild card game of the weekend. He was able to put two early fumbles behind him and salted things away with a 17-yard touchdown run. For these efforts he was awarded Nickelodeon's prestigious NVP award.
Mixon seemed to know he would be honored with hardware, donning a slime helmet on the jubilant sideline after his scoring scamper.
