Boyd was caught on camera ripping his helmet off, storming to the sidelines and almost knocking special teams coach Ross to the ground. His actions sparked fury from viewers with many fans calling for him to be immediately cut from the team, but Boyd has said that the backlash has now reached vile levels.

Boyd took to his Instagram stories Sunday to reveal that he's been receiving racist messages 'every second' since his shocking sideline incident. He shared a screenshot of a private message from an anonymous user, which read: 'Stupid a** n****r.'. Houston Texans star Kris Boyd has revealed he's been the target of racist abuse.
The cornerback said he had received racist messages in the wake of his shove on his coach. And he insisted that it wasn't a one-off occasion as he wrote: 'This been every second since last night up to today... Not looking for sincerity. God got me...'. 'The world is wicked, but I'll be the example to still shine love and light no matter the circumstances... Adapt the ways of the spirit and christ. Not the flesh,' he added, alongside two praying emojis.
The incident occurred just seconds into the playoff matchup following a 63-yard kickoff return to open the game. Boyd tossed his helmet to the ground as he appeared to prematurely celebrate forcing a fumble on Nikko Remigio at the end of the play (the ball was actually recovered by the Chiefs).
