Houston Texans star running back Joe Mixon took issue with a no call that may have injured him against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night.
The NFL banned swivel hip-drop tackles earlier this year and vowed to penalize anyone who decided to use the technique during play. The tackling technique has been the catalyst for some injuries around the league in recent years. The NFL commissioner led the way for the rule to be voted on, which received unanimous approval from owners despite pushback from the NFL Players Association .
It appears the NFLPA’s fears may have been correct. Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon left Sunday night’s game against the Chicago Bears in the third quarter after Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards brought him down by, what Mixon felt was, an illegal tackle. He left the game with an ankle injury and only briefly returned to the field before he was taken out again. Mixon made his feelings known about the move on X.
