Minnesota Vikings' running back Alexander Mattison responded to his recent fine from the NFL.
“They share it like crazy.. then fine you like crazy smh,” Mattison wrote on Twitter.
He then posed a question to the league, “And I just wanna know who sits there and comes up with these random number amounts for fines.”
The Vikings' running back was ultimately fined $6,503 dollars for twerking in the end zone, per Tom Pelissero.

As a result, the Vikings are confident heading into their Week 14 clash with the Detroit Lions. However, they will need to be careful to avoid becoming overconfident.
Vikings' wide receiver Jalen Reagor guaranteed a Week 14 win for Minnesota.
“We’re going to win… I’m not going to say nothing about if we might win. I’m..expecting us to win..I have no doubts,” Reagor said.
Between twerking and guaranteeing victories, this is clearly a Vikings' team that is feeling great about their current position. Minnesota features the talent to make a deep run this season. Although, their defense will need to step up if the Vikings want to reach the Super Bowl. Nevertheless, their impressive passing attack is capable of leading them to wins on a consistent basis.
We will see if they can move to 11-2 against the Lions on Sunday.
