Overview

  • During a third-quarter celebration after DeAndre Hopkins’ touchdown at Highmark Stadium, a front-row fan slapped Hopkins’ and then Lamar Jackson’s helmets.
  • Jackson responded with a two-handed shove that sent the fan backward, and security promptly ejected the individual from the stadium.
  • A league spokesperson said Monday the person is banned from attending all NFL games and events, including the Super Bowl, draft and combine.
  • Jackson apologized, saying he let his emotions get the best of him and should have let security handle it; as of Monday, no league discipline for him had been announced.
  • The Bills won 41-40 on a last-second field goal, and the NFL reiterated that disruptive fans face ejection, bans and potential legal action under its conduct policy.
