re: .

I think this is one statement taken out of context from a whole truth.

I believe leading up to the game Mathieu still had his Facebook/Twitter. Days before the game he was asking people about what medicine to take for flu like symptoms. I think he stated he had like a 103 fever or something of that nature.

There is no direct quote from Tyrann Mathieu in the article. It's a quote he said to a girlfriend. He may have said it, but because he was very sick.

Do remember the news like to twist whatever they can get to gain attention to the article. Or she could be an ex-girlfriend looking for her 15 minutes of fame.
