NFL not disciplining Ravens' Lamar Jackson for fan interaction
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson gets ready to take the field during the second half of their game against the Baltimore Ravens at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park on Sept. 7, 2025. The NFL will not discipline Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson for his interaction with a fan during Sunday night's game in Buffalo.
"The matter has been addressed by the club and there is no further action from the league," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said on Thursday.
The Ravens said they are handling the matter internally after Jackson retaliated to a fan touching his helmet, and the helmet of teammate DeAndre Hopkins, by shoving the man in the chest.
"Our player's safety is of the utmost importance," said a Ravens official, per ESPN. "We have spoken to Lamar, who understands the impact of the situation, about the incident.
"While we will keep internal matters private, we have implemented additional security protocols -- both at home and on the road -- to better protect our players and handle negative fan interactions moving forward."
The Bills fan who made contact with the players' helmets immediately after the Ravens' third-quarter touchdown celebration has been banned indefinitely by the NFL from Buffalo's Highmark Stadium and all other NFL stadiums.
In regard to the incident, Jackson said after the Ravens' 41-40 loss that his emotions got the best of him. "I'll learn from that," the two-time NFL MVP said.
