The NFL will be fining Joe Mixon after all. After fining Mixon $25,000 for comments he didn't make, the NFL has reissued the fine for what he did say regarding the officials after the Texans' 23-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday,

Mixon's agent said the NFL improperly fined Mixon for remarks to the media about the officiating in the Texans' loss to the Chiefs.

The NFL fined Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon for something he didn't say, according to the RB and his agent.

Running back Joe Mixon has been a workhorse for the Hosuston Texans’ offense, but is listed on the team’s injury report ahead of its divisional round playoff matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, January 18. Could the Texans be without their leading running back this weekend?

Mixon presents a difficult look for the Chiefs. He is strong between the tackles but also has the ability to create havoc as a pass catcher. The Texans will be missing slot receiver Tank Dell due to an injury suffered at KC in Week 16 and could rely on Mixon to absorb some of those intermediate routes.

Texans running back Joe Mixon has been handed a re-issued $25,000 fine by the NFL, in this instance for his actual comments about the officiating in the divisional round matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Texans.

After getting fined for something he didn't say, Joe Mixon is still getting fined for what he did say after the Texans' loss.

His agent said they planned to appeal the fine. But instead of just taking the L and admitting they screwed up, the NFL decided to revise their letter to Mixon and re-issue the fine for his own quote instead, which was clearly much less derogatory than the quote they cited in their original letter.

The NFL apparently takes criticism of its referees so seriously that you can get fined for criticizing remarks you didn’t actually say.

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.

After being eliminated by the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL Playoffs, Houston Texans star Joe Mixon spoke about the fines he received. The elimination of the Houston Texans at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL Playoffs is still resonating.
