Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has apologized to the fan he exchanged
shoves with during on Sunday.
Following DeAndre Hopkins’ in the third quarter at Highmark Stadium
in Orchard Park, New York, several Ravens players celebrated at the
back of the end zone near the crowd.
A fan in a Bills jersey could be seen reaching out and shoving
Hopkins’ helmet as he walked past before doing similar to Jackson.
The two-time NFL MVP then turned around and pushed the fan with two
hands in the chest.
On Wednesday, Jackson apologized for his involvement in the incident.
“I believe everyone saw what happened. Don’t get me wrong, I
didn’t try to (gestured pushing), it just happened,” the
28-year-old told reporters. “I got pushed (in the head), and (I was)
like: ‘What?’
“I thought I was outside. I wasn’t even thinking about me being out
there on the field. But my apologies to that (person) – whoever that
was – I don’t know who it was. My apologies to him. Just chill next
time. You can talk trash and stuff, but keep your hands to yourself.”
Jackson was asked whether he’s heard about any potential from the NFL
related to the pushing incident, but the two-time MVP said he hasn’t.
“I talked to (Ravens executive vice president) Eric (DeCosta). Eric
talked to me about it. The league talked to Eric to talk to me about
it,” Jackson said.
Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh said, “As far as I know,” there
would be no punishment for Jackson, adding: “I think we’re in a
really good spot with that.”
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told CNN on Thursday: “The matter has
been addressed by the club and there is no further action from the
league.” McCarthy also told CNN the fan has been banned from
attending Bills games.
Jackson was also asked about Bills fans throwing objects onto the field
after a water bottle could be near the end zone after Ravens running
back Derrick Henry scored a fourth-quarter touchdown on Sunday.
“That’s crazy. Stuff like that shouldn’t be happening. This is
not WWE. We’re playing football out here,” he said. “Don’t make
me look bad, Flock Nation, don’t make me look bad – but I’ve
never seen one of our fans do anything like that to an opposing team.
“So, just keep it football. (You can) talk trash, I know (people are)
going to talk trash. I know the opposing team is going to talk trash,
so keep it that way. But keep your hands and keep your objects to
yourself.”
The Ravens lost 41-40 to the Bills on Sunday in a classic game, one
which could be pivotal to playoff seedings come the end of the .
It was a contest where Baltimore led for the majority of it, including
a 15-point lead with under four minutes remaining until Buffalo mounted
a late comeback to win.
Baltimore hosts the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 looking to get its first
win of the season. And Harbaugh said his team is hoping to learn from
the disappointment of last week, not get bogged down by it.
“You’re going to have those (type of defeats) in this league.
It’s the NFL and it happens,” Harbaugh told reporters on Wednesday.
“We’ve been in a lot of games over the years where we’ve had
leads.
“It doesn’t really matter how you lose them, it matters that you
lost them, and you have to find a way to come back and play the next
week and improve. The opportunity of failure or disappointment is the
opportunity that brings into sharp focus all of the things that you
need to get better at because every single person is looking at every
single thing that they didn’t do as well as they wanted to do in
their mind.”
