On September 3rd, 2023, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was involved in a heated incident with a fan during his team's narrow 41-40 loss to the Buffalo Bills. As Jackson was celebrating a touchdown in front of the home crowd in Buffalo, a fan in a Bills jersey slapped Jackson and his teammate DeAndre Hopkins on their helmets. In the heat of the moment, Jackson shoved the fan, who was subsequently ejected from the stadium.
After the game, Jackson acknowledged that he should have handled the situation better. "He slapped me, and he was talking - so, I just forgot where I was for a little bit," Jackson said. "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."
Despite the incident, Jackson had an excellent performance on the field, throwing for 209 yards and two touchdowns. His touchdown pass to Hopkins put the Ravens up 34-19 with just over a minute left in the third quarter, but the Bills mounted a late comeback, scoring 16 points in the final four minutes to seal a thrilling victory.
