During Sunday night’s fantastic game between the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills, a fan pushed quarterback Lamar Jackson. On Monday, the fan faced serious repercussions for his actions.

In the third quarter of Sunday’s game, Jackson threw a touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins to put the Ravens up 34-19 over the Bills.
While celebrating in the corner of the end zone, a fan hit Hopkins in the head. After the fan shoved Jackson, the Ravens’ quarterback pushed him back before leaving the area.
The fan was ejected by stadium security. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the fan has been indefinitely banned from the Bills and NFL stadiums.
After the game, Jackson took responsibility for his actions, saying he let his emotions “get the better of him.”
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh took a more sympathetic approach by defending his star quarterback.
“We want our guys to celebrate with one another. That’s the whole idea. I guess I didn’t know you’re not allowed to go close to the stands to do that without being attacked by a fan,” Harbaugh said on Monday via the team’s website. “I don’t know how any of us would respond in that moment. I think it’d be something, we’d probably be thinking about protecting ourselves.”
After rushing for a fourth-quarter touchdown, Derrick Henry had a drink thrown at his head.
“You score a touchdown, you probably shouldn’t have a frozen water bottle thrown at you either,” Harbaugh said about the Henry incident.
The NFL has not decided if Jackson will be disciplined for pushing the fan.

For 55 minutes, the Ravens outplayed the Bills. The Ravens’ offense looked unstoppable with 432 total yards, including 238 rushing yards.
However, Baltimore surrendered 16 unanswered points in the final four minutes, losing to the Bills 41-40 on a game-winning field goal by Matt Prater as time expired.
The game looked out of reach once Henry scored his second touchdown of the game with just under 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Henry continues to defy logic, as the 31-year-old rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns.
However, Baltimore failed to deliver the knockout punch to Josh Allen and the Bills’ offense.
Allen threw a touchdown pass to Keon Coleman on fourth down with 3:58 left to cut the score to 40-32. Coleman caught the ball after a Bills player deflected it to the back corner.
The next drive, the Bills recovered a Henry fumble and capitalized four plays later with an Allen touchdown. The Bills missed the two-point conversion, so they were still down 40-38.
Facing a 4th-and-3 from their own 38-yard line, Baltimore elected to punt the ball. Allen drove the Bills down the field, setting Prater up for a game-winning 32-yard field goal.
