"I'm getting fined by the (NFL) for what someone else said," Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon tweeted earlier this week.

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.

CBS analyst JJ Watt is joining to chorus of voices calling out the NFL's bizarre fine of Houston Texan Joe Mixon.

The Texans lost to the Chiefs on Saturday in Kansas City. They kept it close for most of the game, but ultimately lost 23-14. Former Bengals running back Joe Mixon wasn't shy about criticizing the officials after the game.

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 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.

Houston Texans star Joe Mixon and his agent have claimed the NFL fined the running back $25,000 for comments he did not make criticizing officials after his team's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
