With Jeff Driskel starting for Dalton and Green gone, Mixon is getting a chance to show the versatility that led Cincinnati to draft him in the second round despite the public pushback.Mixon either ran the ball or was the intended receiver on 10 of the Bengals' first 13 plays in Los Angeles in a game plan built around the running back."Some guys have to step up to even another level than they're used to playing at," Mixon said Wednesday. "I'm going to embrace it."The Bengals (5-8) will make him the centerpiece again Sunday in their final home game against the Oakland Raiders (3-10) , who are coming off a 24-21 win over Pittsburgh .Mixon has been one of the few bright spots in an offense that's unraveled as players got hurt, one of the few constants during a stretch of seven losses in the past eight games."He's a high-energy guy," Driskel said.

He's running behind a better offensive line, and he's been more determined to take advantage of it."It's like a domino effect," he said.If he stays healthy, Mixon will top 1,000 yards after running for only 625 — and a 3.5-yard average — last season. He's had five games with 100 yards rushing and receiving combined, the most since Hill did it five times in 2014. BenJarvus Green-Ellis had six such games in 2012.He'll get plenty of chances.
