Texans running back Joe Mixon has been handed a reissued $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.
Mixon was originally fined for something he didn't say about the officiating, according to him and his agent. In a postgame interview, Mixon was asked about the referees after the Texans' defense was flagged for two separate penalties for contacting Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Both penalties extended Kansas City drives, leading to a crucial 10 points for the Chiefs in their nine-point win, 23-14.
