Lamar Jackson Shoves Bills Fan After Helmet Slap During Touchdown Celebration

With the fan ejected, Jackson expressed regret as the league’s review of the incident remained unsettled.

Overview

  • The confrontation followed Jackson’s 29-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins late in the third quarter at Highmark Stadium.
  • Broadcast footage showed a front-row fan in a red Bills jersey striking Hopkins’ helmet and then making contact with Jackson’s facemask.
  • Jackson responded with a two-handed shove that sent the spectator backward; no in-game penalty was assessed and the fan was removed.
  • After the 41-40 loss, Jackson said he forgot where he was, acknowledged he should have let security handle it, and indicated he will still celebrate near fans.
  • As of Monday, there was no announced NFL discipline for Jackson, keeping attention on player-fan boundaries and stadium security protocols.
