The post was made on Monday on the X platform, following the 28-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.\n\nRodgers shared a screenshot on Instagram showing multiple messages with racial slurs. In another message, a social media user wrote: &#8220;You are worse than Hitler.&#8221; In a separate screenshot, the same person later apologized.\n\nRodgers was the Vikings&#8217; main defender on two key plays that propelled the Eagles, including a 79-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith in the third quarter and a 45-yard reception to A.J. Brown in the fourth quarter that sealed the game. After the game, Rodgers took full responsibility, stating: &#8220;I take it personally&#8221; and added: &#8220;I came here for a reason, and I know I can make those kinds of plays. So I take it personally.&#8221;\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Racism is real.<\/p><cite>Isaiah Rodgers<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Racism is real \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 keep football , football.
