Baltimore Ravens Star Lamar Jackson’s quarterrier apologized for pushing a fan, who slapped his helmet after a touch in the defeat of 41-40 against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday evening.
The fan has since been banished indefinitely from NFL stadiums after hitting both Jackson and the wide receiver Deandre Hopkins, who caught a hand with a hand during his first reception with the Ravens. Hopkins directed a celebration of the six points he had just scored when the fan slapped their two helmets.
While Hopkins did not retaliate, Jackson pushed the fan, but he has remorse.

“Think just next time,” Jackson said during Ravens training on Wednesday in a fan message, via ESPN. “You can talk about garbage and stuff, but keep your hands for you.”
“It just happened. I was pushed. I say to myself, what? I didn’t even think I’m there on the field. My apologies to him.”
While the Bills went back to the fourth quarter, the fan had already been expelled from the Highmark stadium. Then, it was reported on Monday that the fan was prohibited from all the stages of the NFL, including the Bills.

Jackson added that he had not heard of the NFL on any potential discipline of his actions, although he had conversations with the director general of Ravens Eric Decosta and head coach John Harbaugh, by ESPN.
“As far as I know, we are in a very good place with that,” said Harbaugh about Jackson’s situation.
It was not the only incident fans when opening at home of the Bills on Sunday, because the score of 46 yards of Derrick Henry led someone to launch a bottle of frozen water that almost hit the back carrier in the goal area.
Jackson and the Ravens seemed to go to the victory on the road to launch the 2025 NFL season, but everything went to the fourth quarter while Josh Allen and the Bills retaliated to win a basket on foot.

Jackson finished match 14 of 19 for 209 yards and two affected, while rushing on 70 yards out of six attempts with a touch on the ground too. Henry leads the NFL by rushing after his night in 169 yards and two affected.
