NFL looking into Incognito

Bills general manager Brandon

Beane confirmed Tuesday that the NFL has opened an investigation into the accusation by Jacksonville’s Yannick

Ngakoue that Buffalo’s Richie Incognito used a racial slur during Sunday’s AFC wild-card playoff game. Sunday night, Ngakoue tweeted that Incognito had used a racial slur and did not back down from his comment Monday when he spoke to reporters. “I’ve been playing this game for 12 or 13 years and have never heard anything like that,” Ngakoue said. “When somebody says something about your ethnicity, that’s taking it too far.” Incognito has not commented on the accusation, though Beane said Incognito is trying to reach out to Ngakoue. Beane did not know if that contact has been made. Given Incognito’s history, specifically his eight-game suspension in 2013 for his role in the bullying scandal of former Dolphins teammate

Jonathan Martin where he was found to have used racial and homophobic insults, this could prove to be a sticky situation for the offensive guard who has been named to the Pro Bowl all three of his seasons in Buffalo.
