Officiating Bias for the Kansas City Chiefs Exposed by Texans Star: NFL Punishes Him Harshly
A Houston Texans player was just fined for calling out officiating bias toward the Kansas City Chiefs, and he claims he never made those comments.
A running back for the Houston Texans and his agent, Peter Schaffer, said he was fined $25,000 by the league for a comment he never made. That fine came after the Texans lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round.
Joe Mixon is mind-blown that he was wrongfully fined
Mixon was asked about officiating in a postgame interview in reference to two penalties called against the Texans' defense for contact with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The calls extended Kansas City's drives and accounted for 10 key points in their 23-14 victory.
Former Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh had spoken his mind about the officiating, which was then doctored as a quote by 'Sports Illustrated' and attributed to Mixon.

According to Schaffer, the NFL took that misquoted "50/50" comment and used that alone as justification for fining Mixon. Schaffer told ESPN they will appeal the fine.
Whether the NFL realizes their mistake and rescinds the fine remains to be seen.
