CINCINNATI — Joe Burrow might not have been in attendance as he continues to recovery from an appendectomy, but another Joe stole the show on Back Together Saturday. 

Joe Mixon delivered a simple, but effective pre-practice speech in front of a huge crowd at Paul Brown Stadium on Saturday. 

"We're looking to run that thing back all the way to the Super Bowl and we're gonna win it!" Mixon exclaimed. 

The star running back put on a show after addressing the crowd. 

Mixon had a dazzling one-handed catch. He also had multiple runs to the end zone. 

"He’s really done a great job," head coach Zac Taylor said. "He always comes back in great shape. The way he moves and you can already feel his power even without the pads on."

Mixon might've stolen the show, but Evan McPherson had the grand finale. He ended practice by making a 65-yard field goal. Cal Adomitis was the long snapper and Kevin Huber was the holder. 

"We definitely planned it to give a show to the fans in attendance that it's actually possible," McPherson said. "On a nice warm day like that the ball's compressing really well and I just hit that ball pretty well."

It looked like the kick would've been good from 70 yards or more.

“Today was fairly impressive is how I would phrase it," Taylor said with a smile. "65 yards is no easy task, and it looked like he had a couple more yards behind it."
