The Cincinnati Bengals look nothing like the team that got blown out by the Browns last Monday.
Buy Bengals TicketsJoe Mixon scored four touchdowns in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers, helping the team amount a 35-0 halftime lead.
Mixon scored three times as a rusher, going for 113 yards on 15 carries (7.5 average). He also led the team in receiving with four catches for 58 yards and a score — making for one heck of a way to make up for the absence of Ja’Marr Chase.
The first-half outburst came on the heels of some questioning his usage in favor of Chris Evans, who left the game with a serious-sounding injury.
In the process, the Bengals helped the Panthers make some history:
RECORD ALERT: Bengals lead Panthers 35-0. Barring a TD with 4 seconds left this will be Carolina's largest halftime deficit in franchise history. It was 32 points on Dec. 29, 2019 at the Saints.
