8 Sep
Summary
- Lamar Jackson shoved a fan who touched his helmet after a touchdown
- Incident occurred during Ravens vs. Bills game on Sunday Night Football
- Commentators understood Jackson's reaction but said he shouldn't have retaliated
On September 3rd, 2025, during the third quarter of the Sunday Night Football matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills, a heated incident occurred between Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and a fan in the stands.
As Jackson was celebrating a touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins, a fan in the stands reached down and shoved Hopkins' helmet, then did the same to Jackson. In response, the Ravens star lashed out, shoving the fan with both hands.
Commentators Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth acknowledged that both Jackson and the fan were in the wrong, but they understood the quarterback's reaction. Collinsworth stated, "I'm not excusing. I know there's no way you're allowed to go after fans in the stands, almost no matter what happens. But, sometimes that gets a little ridiculous too."
At the time of the incident, Jackson had an impressive stat line, going 12-of-15 passing for 194 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. He had also added four carries for 38 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
While the confrontation between Jackson and the fan marred an otherwise strong performance by the Ravens quarterback, the incident serves as a reminder of the fine line players must walk when interacting with spectators during the heat of competition.
