The NFL has rescinded a $25,000 fine Houston’s Joe Mixon received for comments about officiating in the Texans’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the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

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon is in the clear after the NFL on Tuesday retracted a $25,000 fine for something Mixon didn't say.
