Saints running back Mark Ingram rushed for a 75-yard touchdown in the second quarter Sunday, then got a little too close to Fox’s microphone as he celebrated.
A pumped-up Ingram appeared to yell, “the fuck wrong with these n—-s, man?” as he strutted down the sideline following the score.

According to Deadspin, the official NFL Twitter account posted a replay of Ingram’s touchdown, including his post-score commentary, only to delete it shortly after, presumably after listening more carefully to the audio.
@NFL then tweeted a short, safe-for-work version of the Ingram score.

Ingram’s touchdown gave the Saints a 28-10 lead over the 49ers in an eventual New Orleans victory. We’re not sure what’s wrong with San Francisco either, but it may have to do with the Niners being a bad football team.
