Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon recently received a hefty fine from the NFL. Mixon was initially hit with a $25,000 fine by the league for criticizing game officials on Saturday, Jan.18 following the Texans’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs 23-14.

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

The quote Mixon was fined for came from former Bengals wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh. Mixon actually said: “Everybody knows how it is playing up here. You can never leave it into the refs hands. The whole world see, man.” The NFL later re-issued the fine, this time using Mixon's actual postgame comments. He clearly doesn't agree with the fine.
