Buffalo Bills: Ranking the 5 best running backs on 2023 schedule
By Brandon Ray
2.) Joe Mixon - Cincinnati Bengals
Even after a drop in production in 2022, Joe Mixon will still be a threat against the Bills in 2023. Let’s not forget about Mixon’s 2021 season where he rushed for 1,205 yards and 13 touchdowns. Ultimately, he was a force to be reckoned with in the Bengals’ Super Bowl run.
Last season, Mixon played in only 14 games but still managed to rack up 814 yards and seven scores (his breakout game came in week 9 with 153 rushing yards and four touchdowns). Additionally in the playoffs, Mixon ran right by the Bills defense with 105 yards on the ground and a touchdown.
With his physicality, Mixon will be a big challenge for the Bills when they meet in Cincinnati this season. The Bengals already have a lot of fire power on offense in the passing attack, but if they can get the ball rolling on the ground, it will be another long game for the Bills.
