A total of 15 Sooners participated in Week 9 of NFL action.

Joe Mixon’s dominant five-touchdown performance propelled the Cincinnati Bengals to a 42-21 win over the Carolina Panthers, while Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Houston Texans to remain the only undefeated team in the NFL. Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals fell to the Seattle Seahawks at home and running back Rhamondre Stevenson had a highlight-reel play in the New England Patriots’ victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

Here’s a look at their performances:

Running back Joe Mixon was an unstoppable force Sunday against the Panthers, recording five total touchdowns for the first time in his career. Mixon’s 22 rushes for 153 yards was a breakout performance. Prior to Sunday’s game, Mixon had not rushed for over 100 yards this season.

Jalen Hurts

On Thursday night, Jalen Hurts continued to impress, passing for 243 yards on 21-of-27 attempts with two touchdowns and no interceptions during the Eagles’ 29-17 win over the Texans. Philadelphia improved to 8-0 on the season.
