After being traded from the Cincinnati Bengals to the Houston Texans, running back Joe Mixon was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week following an impressive debut game, with 159 rushing yards and one touchdown.
Following his move, Mixon signed a three-year deal worth $25.5 million with his new team.
Despite a successful past season with the Bengals, the Ohio-based team had traded him to the Texans to free up their salary cap.
