The NFL put out a similar statement.
This is in response to racist DMs Mattison was sent after the Vikings 34-28 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night. Mattison shared some on Instagram:
Mattison had a tough game. Eight carries for 28 yards and a lost fumble. Imagine then picking up your phone and looking at these messages. People really are trash.
