Lamar Jackson speaks out after shoving fan in heartbreaking ‘SNF’ loss to Bills
NY Post
It was a rough trip to Buffalo for Lamar Jackson.
The star Ravens quarterback had a controversial interaction with a Bills fan — and then his team collapsed in a heartbreaking 41-40 loss Sunday night.
Baltimore was celebrating after a one-handed DeAndre Hopkins touchdown catch gave the Ravens a 34-19 lead near the end of the third quarter when a Bills fan slapped both the veteran receiver and Jackson in the helmet as they ran alongside the stands.
Jackson responded by shoving the fan, who was ejected from the game.
“He slapped me, and he was talking — so, I just forgot where I was for a little bit,” Jackson said after the thriller. “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.”
Jackson said, though, he won’t shy away from similar celebrations going forward.
