Bengals rookie right tackle Amarius Mims suppressed elite edge rusher Maxx Crosby.

CINCINNATI – Somewhat lost between Joe Burrow’s career-high five touchdown passes and Trey Hendrickson’s career-high four sacks Sunday at the Cincinnati Bengals’ 41-24 win against the Las Vegas Raiders was another achievement.

The number is smaller, but no less significant.

Bengal Rookie right tackle Amarius Mims helped hold Raiders Pro Bowl edge rusher Maxx Crosby without a sack.

Center Ted Karras took the opportunity to give Mims a new nickname: “The Shutout King.”

“I’m just a regular guy,” Mims said in his trademark aww-shucks delivery. “One moment to last. There will be another moment.”

Crosby was alongside Mims on the offensive line on 67 of his 74 snaps Sunday. Mims held him without a sack, marking only the third time in Crosby’s last ten games that this has happened.

Crosby’s three tackles tied his season low, although he did match his season high with three quarterback hits against Joe Burrow – and a fourth that didn’t count but resulted in an unnecessary roughness penalty and some regrets from Karras.

“One of the best players in the league,” Mims said of Crosby. “Maxx is a man of many tricks. He has a lot of moves in his arsenal. We were just patient this week and didn’t try to play outside my comfort zone.

Mims gave teammate Orlando Brown Jr. credited with helping him prepare for Crosby in the days leading up to the game.

“He talked to me all week,” Mims said. “Before training, after training, during meetings, here in the locker room. He’s a great teammate.”

Brown had more time than usual to work with Mims because he didn’t practice all week due to a knee injury he originally suffered Oct. 27 in Cleveland and then re-aggravated last week against Philadelphia.

The injury forced Brown to miss the first game of his career, but he continued his guidance of Mims on the sideline throughout the game.

“Too often the biggest problem in this league is that people at the tackle position are quick to adapt their play to others,” Brown said. “Maxx is so unique and so special in so many different ways.

“But (Mims) is the most talented guy in our room,” Brown said. “He has all the capabilities and intangibles in the world. So my biggest piece of advice to him was just be yourself. You play big and win with great body positioning and footwork. Trust your eyes and what you see, get out of the picture and put yourself in a great position to be able to react and react to any kind of rush or unique things he throws at you.

While Mims tried to downplay the significance of taking down such an elite pass rusher, Brown said he knows it’s the kind of performance that can really jump-start a young career.

Because he lived it.

In his third career start, he faced Pittsburgh. TJ Watt and kept him under one pressure, no hits and a 3 percent winning percentage.

“I was one-on-one pretty much the whole game,” Brown said. “He put pressure on me, but overall that was the first game for me where I thought, ‘OK, I have a chance here.’”

And just as will be the case for Mims when he faces Baltimore’s Nnamdi Madubuike, the Chargers’ Joey Bosa, Watt and Dallas’ Micah Parsons in the next four games, Brown said the key is the confidence to repeat the performance.

A few weeks after taking down Watt, Brown was in the middle of his career with 13 sacks against Kansas City’s Dee Ford.

Baltimore’s coaches put Brown in some real one-on-one situations with Ford, and Brown held him to two pressures and no sacks.

Although Brown didn’t play against the Raiders on Sunday, his experience was on full display and lived through Mims.

“I just had a great plan and great coaching from Orlando this week,” Mims said. ‘He told me it was going to be a game of patience. Maxx is a man of many tricks. He had a lot of moves in his arsenal. We were just patient this week, just playing.

“I watched so much film about that guy, got tips from Orlando and just tried to do my best.”
