The NFL team shared its condolences Thursday … saying it was “heartbroken” by the tragedy.
“Among those missing was Matthew Tenedorio, a valued member of the ASM New Orleans video crew,” the statement said.

Tenedorio’s parents addressed the unimaginable loss to local media … his father said Matthew’s dream job was to work at the Superdome.
