Lamar Jackson Shoves Bills Fan After Helmet Slap During Ravens TD Celebration

The incident highlights the NFL’s ban on player–spectator contact, raising the prospect of discipline.

Overview

  • NBC replays showed a front‑row spectator reach over the barrier to hit DeAndre Hopkins’ helmet and then Lamar Jackson’s helmet during the third‑quarter celebration.
  • Jackson responded with a two‑handed shove that sent the fan back into his seat, and no penalty was assessed on the play.
  • The fan was ejected from Highmark Stadium, according to multiple reports including ESPN and the Baltimore Banner.
  • Postgame, Jackson said he "forgot where I was," acknowledged letting emotions get the best of him, and remarked the fan "probably had a couple of beers."
  • League rules prohibit player contact with spectators, and reporting indicates the NFL could review the episode and levy a five‑figure fine.
