Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson shoved a Buffalo Bills fan in retaliation in the third quarter of Sunday night’s matchup between the two teams.
After a one-handed touchdown catch by DeAndre Hopkins, he and several Baltimore players ran out of the back of the end zone and toward the front row of the stands in celebration.
A fan made contact with Hopkins’ helmet and then pushed Jackson, as well. Immediately after the fan pushed Jackson, Jackson returned the shove himself.
Jackson was not disciplined for the shove, while the fan was ejected from the game, according to The Baltimore Banner.
According to the Bills’ Fan Code of Conduct, “any irresponsible conduct will not be tolerated in the stadium parking lots or in Highmark Stadium, and in some cases may result in ejection from the game, revocation of season ticket privileges and/or arrest.”
Jackson expressed remorse over the incident after the game, saying that he saw the fan slap Hopkins before the fan slapped him and mouthed off.
“I just forgot where I was for a little bit, but you got to think in those situations, you know. You got security out there. Let security handle it, you know,” Jackson said in postgame video aired on ESPN. “But I just let my emotions get the best of me. But hopefully it don’t happen again, you know. I’ll learn from that.”
