We’re concluded Week 1 and two huge NFL no-no’s have played a big part in the football conversations.
- Spitting on other players (Jalen Carter)
- Altercations/shoving between fans and players (Lamar Jackson)
How big will the fines be? Will either player get suspended? Will the Bills’ fan be barred from Highmark Stadium?
The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag have created lines for each of these questions.
The Incident
After Jackson threw a touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins in the third quarter of Baltimore's 41-40 loss to the Bills on Sunday night, several Ravens were celebrating behind the corner of the end zone. A fan reached out and gave Hopkins a little shove to the helmet, then did the same to Jackson, who pushed him back with two hands to the chest.
The fan was ejected by stadium security and has been banned indefinitely.
Jackson said afterward he let his emotions get the better of him, but Harbaugh said it was understandable.
"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.
"You score a touchdown, you probably shouldn't have a frozen water bottle thrown at you either," Harbaugh added, likely referring to a projectile that came flying in Derrick Henry's direction when he scored to put Baltimore up 40-25.
