"In a matchup between the two most recent NFL MVPs - Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen in 2024 and Jackson in 2023 - Hopkins made a spectacular one-handed touchdown catch late in the third quarter to give the Ravens a 34-19 lead. Hopkins and Jackson were among a number of Baltimore players who exited the back of the end zone to celebrate the score."
"As several of those players walked past the stands, a fan reached out and slapped Hopkins on the helmet, then did the same to Jackson. The four-time Pro Bowl player, who also won the league's MVP award in 2019, responded by shoving the fan hard with both hands, which knocked the fan backward. The Bills reported that the fan was ejected from the game. Jackson was not disciplined during the game."
Lamar Jackson shoved a Buffalo Bills fan after the fan slapped the helmets of Jackson and teammate DeAndre Hopkins during a touchdown celebration at Highmark Stadium. Hopkins had made a one-handed touchdown catch late in the third quarter to put Baltimore up 34-19, and several Ravens players walked past the stands to celebrate. As players passed, a fan slapped Hopkins and then Jackson, prompting Jackson to shove the fan with both hands and knock him backward. The Bills said the fan was ejected. Jackson said he regretted the reaction, acknowledged he should have let security handle it, and said he learned from the incident. Baltimore lost the game 41-40 after surrendering a 15-point lead.
