Bengals running back Joe Mixon had 23 rushing yards on his first nine carries of Saturday's 19-16 playoff win against the Titans in Nashville.
Then he broke one for 16 yards to give Cincinnati its first - and only - touchdown of the day, and a 10-point lead against Tennessee after Evan McPherson's extra point.
McPherson had the Bengals up by three points at the half after a 54-yard field goal late in the second quarter, his third of four - including the game-winner.
Post-game reaction from Mixon via Twitter:

This game reminds a lot of the Bengals vs. Raiders game in the first meeting in Week 11. Took the Bengals a bit to get rolling and started the second half rolling

On that touchdown run, Jonah Williams made an absolutely incredible block on Simmons to open up the entire left side of the field.
Also, that’s the exact duo/wide zone concept that the Bengals moved to when they hired Frank Pollack.
