Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was involved in an incident with a fan after Ravens’ wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins scored a touchdown during the second half of Sunday’s night game in Buffalo, in which the Ravens took a 41-40 loss to the Bills.
After the TD, Jackson had met Hopkins in the end zone to celebrate; when a Buffalo fan slapped Hopkins and Jackson on the head, Jackson retaliated by shoving the man. According to the Washington Post, the unidentified fan was ejected from the game.
Jackson spoke out after the game, stating: “I seen him slap D-Hop. … And then he slapped me. He’s talking, so I just forgot where I was for a little bit. You got to think in those situations, we got security out there, let security handle it. I let my emotion get the best of me. Hopefully it won’t happen again. I’ll learn from that.”
Bills’ fans continued to disrupt the game; after Baltimore running back Derrick Henry scored his second touchdown of the night in the fourth quarter, someone threw what appeared to be a water bottle on the field in Henry’s direction. The water bottle bounced inches behind Henry’s feet in the end zone, missing him.
