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.

Joe Mixon just got fined by the NFL for something a former player tweeted following Saturday’s loss in Kansas City.

The do-it-all running back for Houston was a late addition to the injury report this week, clouding his status for the weekend matchup in Kansas City. The Texans already have dealt with plenty of issues at the receiver spot this season, only adding more to Mixon's plate.

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.

Instead of just admitting they were wrong, the NFL still plans on going after Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon for dumb comments.

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! 🤦🏽‍♂️"

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.

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.
