On By Littum

There was no holiday spirit between the Ravens and Texans before their Christmas Day clash.

Texans running back Joe Mixon and Ravens backup quarterback Josh Johnson got into a shouting match and had to be separated several times before the highly anticipated matchup between the AFC heavyweights.

A Texans assistant coach was hit by an errant shot from Ravens kicker Jordan Stout, Steve Wyche reported on the Netflix broadcast.

That prompted Mixon to push the ball up into the stands.

The broadcast then showed Mixon going after Stout, being separated by several players and staff, and Johnson subsequently coming up to him and yelling.
