NFL rescinds Joe Mixon's $25,000 fine after appeal from Texans running back

The NFL has canceled Joe Mixon's $25,000 fine for comments about officiating during the Texans' playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs after an appeal by Mixon.
Appeals officer Chris Palmer stated that Mixon 'did not necessarily publicly criticize the officials' during the appeal hearing.
Mixon was fined for a comment incorrectly attributed to him in a Sports Illustrated story, which was later corrected.
After the game, Mixon remarked, 'everybody knows how it is playing up here. You can never leave it into the refs’ hands,' highlighting his perspective on officiating.
