The most intriguing storyline from the Tennessee Titans’ 31-12 victory over the Miami Dolphins didn’t happen on the field, but rather in the stands—and on social media. What started as a routine NFL game quickly took a dramatic turn when a fan’s tweet about Titans backup quarterback Mason Rudolph went viral.
A user named “Betrjojo” tweeted during the game, saying, “And Mason Rudolph DMed my girlfriend a couple weeks ago… Shaping up to be an all-time awful night.” At the time, Rudolph had just entered the game after starting quarterback Will Levis went down with a shoulder injury during a first-quarter scramble. While most of the focus should have been on Rudolph’s performance on the field, the fan’s tweet quickly became the center of attention.
In a clip posted on X (formerly Twitter), Betrjojo had his girlfriend, Amanda Vance, show what appeared to be a direct message allegedly sent by Mason Rudolph.
As the video unfolded, the visibly frustrated Dolphins fan launched into a rant, upset about both the game and the supposed DM from Rudolph. “He’s a bum. I don’t care. Dude, he can have you. I would take a Dolphins win tonight over you. I’m not even kidding. This is such a f***ing bad game. I want to go home,” he said, his girlfriend looking shocked by the outburst. The video has since been deleted.

The DM, shown in the clip, allegedly from a “Mason Rudolph,” asked, “Still in Miami?” The timestamp on the message seemed recent, leading many viewers to believe the Titans’ backup quarterback had sent the message while on the sideline during the game. However, it was later revealed to be a screengrab, casting doubt on the authenticity of the situation.
As internet detectives dove deeper into the story, it became clear there was more to this than met the eye. Amanda Vance, the girlfriend at the center of the drama, is no ordinary fan. She’s a prominent Instagram betting influencer with over 532,000 followers, far surpassing her boyfriend Joey Mauriello, aka “Betrjojo,” who has around 18,000 followers. Mauriello, however, is no stranger to the social media space, having connections to high-profile figures like boxer and influencer Jake Paul, as seen in his Instagram posts.
The viral moment seemed to be part of an ongoing trend for the couple, who have a history of creating humorous bits for social media. A deeper dive into their profiles revealed another comedic moment where Mauriello filmed Vance missing her favorite team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, play in order to attend a Dolphins game for his birthday. This playful interaction further fueled speculation that the “Mason Rudolph DM” was just another planned bit to entertain their followers.
Despite the questionable nature of the DM, the tweet exploded online, racking up over 2.3 million views and catching the attention of NFL influencer accounts like MLFootball. The tweet’s popularity gave Vance and Mauriello a viral moment, cementing their place in the ever-growing world of social media personalities.
Whether or not the real Mason Rudolph ever DMed Vance remains unclear. The context, timing, and authenticity of the alleged message are still up for debate. But what is certain is that Vance and Mauriello successfully captured the internet’s attention, making the most of their 15 minutes of fame. Given their established presence as influencers, this could be just the beginning of even more viral moments from the couple.
As for Mason Rudolph, the quarterback remains focused on his role with the Titans, likely unconcerned with the social media frenzy that unfolded around him.
In the end, the off-field drama provided an unexpected twist to a game that otherwise lacked excitement, giving NFL fans something to talk about long after the final whistle blew.
