A Buffalo Bills fan who was seen smacking the helmets of Baltimore Ravens stars DeAndre Hopkins and Lamar Jackson after a touchdown on Sunday was reportedly banned from NFL stadium indefinitely.
ESPN first reported the fan, who was immediately ejected from Highmark Stadium after the incident, was banned on Monday, citing a team official. Fox News Digital reached out to the Bills for comment.
Jackson and Hopkins were celebrating with teammates in the end zone following a touchdown pass in the third quarter. The NBC broadcast caught the fan crossing the line.
The star quarterback retaliated and shoved the fan.
“I (saw) him slap (DeAndre Hopkins), but I wasn’t really … He slapped me – he was talking, so I just forgot where I was for a little bit,” Jackson explained to reporters after the game. “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.”
The Ravens seemingly had an insurmountable lead in the fourth quarter, but Buffalo found a way to come back. The Bills scored 22 points in the fourth quarter and won the game, 41-40.
Jackson had 209 passing yards and two touchdown passes to go along with 70 yards on six carries and a rushing touchdown.
