After the Falcons’ last-second victory against Tampa Bay on Thursday night, running back Bijan Robinson joined teammates Kirk Cousins and Kyle Pitts on the set of Amazon Prime’s postgame show.

While answering a question, Robinson made an insensitive comment regarding the name of a type of football game he played when he was young.

Within a short time of making the comment, Robinson issued an apology on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Robinson said, “Hey everyone I want to apologize for the insensitive comment I made in the broadcast, it was a football game we used to play as a kid but that’s not an excuse. I recognize the mistake and make sure to do better in the future. It was not reflective of my beliefs and I am so sorry to those I offended seriously!”
