HOUSTON -- Texans running back Joe Mixon called out the NFL on social media for not enforcing its own rules after injuring his ankle on what he believed to be an illegal hip-drop tackle during Houston's 19-13 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday night.

With 11:57 left in the third quarter, Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud completed a pass to Mixon, who ran up the sideline before he was brought down by Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards using what appeared to be the now-banned swivel hip-drop tackle.
