Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph flatly denied a claim by Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett that Rudolph directed a racial slur at him prior to the melee at the end of the game between the teams in November.

"1000% False. Bold-Faced Lie. I did not, have not, and would not utter a racial-slur. This is a disgusting and reckless attempt to assassinate my character," tweeted Rudolph.
