NFL to look into Ngakoue's claim that Incognito used racial slurs
The NFL will investigate allegations made by Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue that Buffalo Bills guard Richie Incognito used racial slurs during Sunday's wild-card game, a league official told Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The pass-rusher claimed Incognito used "weak racist slurs" in a tweet Sunday following the Jaguars' 10-3 win.
Rookie left tackle Dion Dawkins, who plays right next to Incognito, defended his teammate.
Just for the world to know, everyone always tryna put some bad thing on @68INCOGNITO i was next to my guy the entire game and the entire season and believe me, if he was saying some racist stuff I would have been the first to let him know that was out of line. Cut The BS

Incognito spent the entire 2014 season without a team after allegations of racially abusive behavior toward then-Miami Dolphins teammate Jonathan Martin came to light.
The veteran offensive lineman has been accused of dirty play by his opponents on multiple occasions throughout his career.
