Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon became the victim of the dreaded hip-drop tackle.

During the third quarter of the Sunday night game between the Houston Texans and Chicago Bears, Mixon injured his ankle on a play that has been banned.

Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards had a classic hip drop tackle, injuring Texans running back Joe Mixon on Sunday Night Football.

No flag was thrown.
