Lamar Jackson gives candid response on pushing Bills fan

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was involved in a sideline altercation with a fan in the middle of a game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. After the game he addressed the issue, which was caught on camera.

Jackson shoved the fan after the fan, wearing Bills colors, reached out and pushed the helmet of both DeAndre Hopkins and Jackson. The duo was celebrating a touchdown hookup with teammates near the sideline.

The incident immediately went viral, with the league office likely to take notice. Jackson addressed his part in it after the game.

“I forgot where I was a little bit,” Jackson said, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. “You’ve got to think in those situations. I’ll learn from that.”

The incident could mar what was otherwise an excellent night for the electric quarterback. The touchdown pass, a 29-yard strike to Hopkins that was hauled in with one hand in between two defenders, was an absolute beauty. It put Baltimore up 34-19 in a riveting contest.
