The NFL has fined Texans RB Joe Mixon $25,000 for criticizing officials based on something he didn’t even say.
The league has fined Texans running back Joe Mixon for saying this after the Kansas City win: “Why play the game if every 50/50 call goes with Chiefs. These officials are trash and bias.”
Mixon didn’t say it. The quote is from a tweet included in an SI.com story regarding Mixon’s actual comments after the game.
Said Mixon, “Everybody know how it is playing up here. You can never leave it into the refs hands. The whole world see, man.”
The same article attributes the comment for which Mixon was fined not to Mixon but to former Bengals receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
