MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings are rallying around running back Alexander Mattison after racist messages were sent his way following the team’s loss to the Eagles.

On Thursday night, Mattison posted screenshots on his Instagram story, saying over 60 people sent him “disgustingly disrespectful” messages.  

“Under my helmet, I am a human,” he wrote, adding he is a father and son. “This is sick.”
