Cameras caught two Atlanta Falcons fans in a fistfight during Sunday’s season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
When it comes to fan fights at sporting events (they’re all ridiculous and unnecessary), it usually involves spectators supporting different teams. But in this instance, it was two Atlanta Falcons fans who participated in a brawl — and it took Falcons supporters to break it up.
The ATL Uncensored X/Twitter account shared a video of two male adults getting into a fistfight outside one of the concession stands. In the first portion of the clip, one fan courageously steps in and briefly breaks it up.
But the fight escalates and moves to the outside another concession stand, ending with one fan knocking out the other Atlanta Falcons supporter. He delivers a few more punches before other fans step in to finally stop the brawl.

It’s unclear at this time if any injuries were sustained, and if the fans are facing potential charges for the brawl. But here’s another friendly reminder that brawls like this are always dumb and never worth it.
Fans who participate in violence at sporting events face a strong likelihood of getting banned for life, too. So keep that in mind if your temper ever escalates at an arena or stadium.
The Falcons dropped a low-scoring affair 18-10 to the visiting Steelers, losing their sixth season opener in seven years. Kirk Cousins had a forgettable debut with just 16 completions on 26 pass attempts for 155 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions.
Atlanta Falcons Aim To Rebound vs. Philadelphia Eagles
The Falcons will try to avoid another disastrous start next Monday when they visit Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles in prime time at Lincoln Financial Field. Atlanta has lost four of its last five meetings against Philadelphia, and they haven’t won at Lincoln Financial Field since the 2012 season.
