Lamar Jackson had a shocking incident against a Buffalo Bills fan while he was celebrating after a one-handed DeAndre Hopkins touchdown catch gave the Ravens a 34-19 lead near the end of the third quarter.
The fan who shoved Ravens receiver DeAndre Hopkins and quarterback Lamar Jackson in the helmet was pushed by the Ravens quarterback.
The NBC broadcast showed a fan sitting near the field smacking Hopkins and Jackson on the helmet as they approached the barrier. The star quarterback pushed the male fan back.
No penalty was assessed for the play.
Unfortunately, and fortunately for that Buffalo Bills fan, he would not be able to sit back and watch that epic comeback as he was ejected from the game, via Mark Maske of the Washington Post.
Now, that Bills fan, who was wearing a red jersey and sitting in the front row, could face further punishment from the Bills and the league, as he might be banned from attending future games.
Lamar Jackson Speaks On Shoving The Buffalo Bills Fan
As the Baltimore Ravens kept scoring at Highmark Stadium on Sunday night, one Buffalo Bills supporter decided to take matters into his own hands.
After a huge touchdown in the third quarter of the Ravens’ 41-40 loss, a group of Ravens players walked along the outer wall by Bills fans. One of them struck receiver DeAndre Hopkins and quarterback Lamar Jackson on the helmet.
Jackson then immediately returned a shove to that fan.
After the game, Jackson said he saw the Buffalo Bills fan strike Hopkins.
“I just forgot where I was for a little bit,” Jackson told reporters postgame.
“You gotta think in those situations. You got security out there. Let security handle it. I just let my emotions get the best of me. Hopefully, it won’t happen again. I learned from that.”
“I’ve never seen our fans do that,” Jackson said.
“So, I’ll probably do it again when we score a touchdown. It’s not nothing against the fans. I’m just celebrating when my teammates get a touchdown.”
Unfortunately for Jackson and company, Josh Allen led the Bills to a stunning comeback, scoring two touchdowns and a field goal in the final four minutes to erase a 15-point deficit.
