Lamar Jackson shoved disrespectful Bills fan who smacked him in the head

Lamar Jackson did not take kindly to a Buffalo Bills fan harassing him and his Baltimore Ravens teammates.

The Ravens were celebrating Jackson’s touchdown pass to wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins late in the third quarter of their game against the Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. As the Ravens players walked near the fan barrier, one unruly Bills supporter thought it was a good idea to smack them in the helmet as they passed by.

Hopkins, still on a high after making an incredible TD catch, ignored the fan. Jackson wasn’t as forgiving. The two-time MVP shoved the fan, who fell backwards into his seat.

Players are not supposed to touch fans, let alone shove them with any sort of force. But the Bills fan clearly crossed a line by getting too physical with the players.

The Bills supporter may have been frustrated after Jackson’s touchdown pass gave the Ravens a 34-19 lead to end the third quarter.

ARE YOU KIDDING @DeAndreHopkins????

Hopkins looked like the D-Hop of old on the play. His one-handed grab was an emphatic way to make a first impression with Ravens fans. The three-time All-Pro was in too good a mood to let a rowdy fan bother him.
