Joe Mixon reaches 4,000 rushing/1,000 receiving yardage milestone during Bengals-Raiders
Joe Mixon became the fourth player in Cincinnati Bengals' history to record 4,000 rushing and 1,000 receiving yards in his career during the first quarter of Sunday's Week 11 victory against the Las Vegas Raiders, joining Corey Dillon, James Brooks and Pete Johnson.
Mixon needed just five rushing yards to reach the milestone, doing so in just 60 career games over five seasons in Cincinnati.
Mixon scored the Bengals' first touchdown of the 32-13 win - his eighth rushing score this season - during the second quarter. It was Mixon's seventh consecutive game with a TD.
Mixon added another touchdown - his 11th overall of 2021 - on a 20-yard run with 3:51 left in the game. He finished the game with 123 rushing yards on 30 carries.
