Sooners in the NFL, Week 4
Cincinnati’s first win of the NFL season was carried in on the broad shoulders of Joe Mixon.
On a big Sunday for former Sooners, Mixon accounted for three of the Bengals’ four touchdowns — his first career three-TD game — and led Cincy to a 33-25 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In all, OU players scored 14 touchdowns in Week 4, which represents 19 percent of all NFL touchdowns scored this weekend.
Mixon, a former 5-star recruit from California, became a familiar name to Sooner Nation in the recruiting game. His first season in Norman, however, was spent under suspension.
In 2016, Mixon became the first OU player to record 200 yards rushing and 100 receiving when he shredded Texas Tech for 263 and 114 and scored five touchdowns in the Sooner classic in Lubbock.
Mixon spent two seasons in Norman before declaring for the draft in 2017. During his time in the league, he has totaled 3,246 rushing yards and 121 receptions for 958 yards.
Up next for the Bengals is a noon kickoff against the Ravens in Baltimore, where Mixon will reunite with several former OU teammates.
