Joe Mixon had a big game for the Houston Texans on Monday night and was feeling extra saucy.
Mixon had already put together over 100 yards and scored two touchdowns before halftime as his Texans led the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Mixon scored on a big 45-yard run in the first quarter. Later in the quarter, he scored from a yard away.
After high-stepping his way into the end zone on the second TD, Mixon taunted the Cowboys defense with a “too small” gesture. The gesture occurred when Mixon lowered his left hand to his knee.

The Texans entered the game 6-4, while the Cowboys were 3-6 (and 0-4 at home). The prognosis for Dallas’ season was not looking too great after Dak Prescott was lost for the year. Mixon was doing his best to rub things in.
