Joe Mixon turned his unhappiness into a touchdown celebration.
to adjust for the Bills-Bengals game being canceled in the wake of Damar Hamlin’s on-field cardiac arrest. The changes meant that if the Bengals lost to the Ravens on Sunday, the league would flip a coin to determine home-field advantage for their playoff rematch.
So on Sunday, when Mixon ran in a 1-yard touchdown in the first quarter, he had his prop ready. Upon entering the end zone, he took off his gloves, where he had a coin stored, and flipped it to mock the potential playoff scenario. Mixon’s touchdown gave the Bengals a 10-0 lead, which if they held on to, no coin toss would even be necessary. Cincinnati took a 24-7 lead into halftime.
