The Buffalo Bills fan who shoved Baltimore Ravens players Lamar Jackson and DeAndre Hopkins during Sunday’s game will never have the opportunity to do it again.
The incident occurred as the Ravens were celebrating after Hopkins had just caught a one-handed touchdown that put the visitors ahead 34-19.
As Ravens players celebrated at the back of the end zone, a male fan reached out and hit the receiver and Jackson as Baltimore players walked past the crowd.
Lamar Jackson watched as a male Buffalo Bills fan struck DeAndre Hopkins and then struck him. He pushed back.
Now, social media is going crazy after someone mocked that Bills fan and sent out a fake statement while wearing a neck brace.
Jackson said he saw the fan strike Hopkins before he received a blow from the fan.
“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.”
In the end, the Bills would end up getting the last laugh as Matt Prater drilled a game-winning 32-yard field goal to complete an epic comeback.
Buffalo Bills Fan Was Ejected And Banned
A Buffalo Bills fan who shoved Baltimore Ravens players was first ejected from the game, so he was unable to see his team make that epic fourth-quarter comeback.
No penalty was issued after Lamar Jackson pushed the fan back during the game. The blow to Jackson’s head was strong enough that his head visibly moved back.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday that the fan has been “indefinitely banned” from the Bills’ stadium and other NFL stadiums as a result of his actions.
The NFL, in a statement, said “any fan that engages in unruly and disruptive behavior will lose the privilege of attending NFL games. Penalties can include ejection, banishment from NFL games and events, and legal action.”
Now, that fan can spend the rest of his life cheering on his favorite team from outside the stadium, including when they eventually play in their new one.
