Bills fan who hit, got shoved by Lamar Jackson banned from all NFL stadiums

A Bills fan who was hitting Ravens players on their helmets and subsequently got shoved by quarterback Lamar Jackson Sunday night has been indefinitely banned from all NFL stadiums, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

A fan wearing a red Josh Allen jersey first hit Ravens receiver DeAndre Hopkins in the head after Hopkins made a one-handed touchdown catch late in the third quarter as he and his teammates celebrated in front of the crowd in Orchard Park.

The fan then hit Jackson, who didn’t take kindly to it and shoved the fan in retaliation. The fan was ejected from the game. Jackson was not penalized.

“He slapped me, and he was talking — so, I just forgot where I was for a little bit,” Jackson said after the Ravens collapsed in a 41-40 loss. “You have to think in those situations. You have security out there; let security handle it. But I just let my emotions get the best of me. Hopefully, it doesn’t happen again. I learned from that.”

Hopkins’ touchdown put Baltimore up 34-19, and they held a 40-25 lead going into the last five minutes of the game before Buffalo stormed back.

Josh Allen’s touchdown pass to Keon Coleman with 3:56 left brought the Bills to within eight points.

A Derrick Henry fumble led to an Allen rushing touchdown with 1:58 remaining, but the two-point conversion failed and Buffalo still trailed by two.

The Bills then forced the Ravens into a three-and-out and used all of their timeouts to get the ball back, and Matt Prater kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired to give Buffalo the win.
