Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals bounced back from a disaster at the end of their first drive of their game Sunday against the Cleveland Browns at Paul Brown Stadium with a first-quarter scoring drive that culminated with Joe Mixon's 11-yard touchdown run with 4:15 left in the opening quarter to tie it at 7.
Mixon's sixth touchdown run of the season and eighth TD overall came on the Bengals' 20th offensive play - potentially leading to some fatigue from the Browns' defense.
"A great block on the outside by Boyd - the wide receiver - and then Mixon and the offensive line do the rest," CBS color analyst Tony Romo said. "This is interesting ... 20 plays, right? This is 7-7, and yes, (Denzel Ward's) interception was huge. But 20 plays to start a game on your defense? They're gonna be tired earlier in this game than they would be in almost any other game they've played this year. That's a tough one as it gets into that third and fourth quarter."
