The NFL has rescinded a $25,000 fine it issued to Texans running back Joe Mixon after finding that he had not criticized officials following Houston’s playoff defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs in January.

The NFL has rescinded a $25,000 fine Houston’s Joe Mixon received for comments about officiating in the Texans’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs after an appeal by the running back.

NFL hearing officer Chris Palmer wrote Tuesday that he has overturned a $25,000 fine of Mixon issued by the NFL, granting an appeal that was issued by Mixon. The successful appeal concludes an ordeal in which the NFL fined Mixon for something he didn't say, then fined him for something he did say after it realized its mistake.
