Joe Mixon just got fined by the NFL for something a former player tweeted following Saturday’s loss in Kansas City.
Two-time Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon has been fined $25,000 for comments he made about NFL officiating. The only problem is he didn't make that comment.
Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon announced via X on Wednesday that the NFL fined him for comments he didn't make following the playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. "I’m getting fined by the @nfl for what someone else said. What’s next? I get fined by them for Connor McDavid cross checking an opponent on a @nhl game! 🤦🏽‍♂️"
The NFL fined Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon for comments he never made, then re-issued the fine with comments he did make amid controversy.
On Saturday, former NFL wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh was among many observers to rail—fairly or unfairly—against perceptions of officiating bias in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Houston Texans have over two dozen free agents set to hit the market this offseason, but Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon hopes at least one is back in the huddle for the season-opener when the offense takes the field.
Joe Mixon is active for the Houston Texans’ divisional playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Pro Bowl running back had shown up on the injury report with an ankle problem and missed practice late in the week.
According to reports, the league fined Mixon for a post on X by a former NFL player, who criticized the refs in Houston's loss to Kansas City Saturday.
After getting fined for something he didn't say, Joe Mixon is still getting fined for what he did say after the Texans' loss.
