Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and running back Joe Mixon have cleared the air after Mixon’s comments about wishing he had pushed harder to get on the field for the team’s final drive in Super Bowl 56 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Taylor told reporters after Saturday’s practice that he had no issues with how Mixon expressed himself.
“You absolutely should feel passionate about that situation,” Taylor said. “He’s handled it outstanding. That’s much appreciated. He knows that. It’s one of the reasons you want to get back to those moments, you know?”
In an interview with The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr., Mixon said he “really should have took initiative” to get himself into the game during the two-minute drive:
“It sucks. Obviously, I know I would have been able to help and do whatever to get that 1 yard, but it’s over with, it’s last year, and we are in 2022. We are trying to do whatever we can do to repeat and get right back in that same situation. And when we are in that situation, you damn sure know I’ll be in.”
