Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson pushed a Buffalo Bills fan away after the fan touched his helmet as he was celebrating a touchdown in Sunday’s game in New Jersey. Jackson was walking past the stands when the fan extended his hands and touched Jackson’s helmet.
Jackson’s action drew flak on social media as the fans’ attempt to touch the QB’s helmet seemed spontaneous, but the fan was ejected from the game owing to the act. It raised questions on the rules in the NFL around physical contact with fans during the game.
As per the National Football League rules, physical contact between fans and players during games is strictly prohibited. Fans are not allowed to physically contact players on the field or sidelines. Any interference can result in ejection, bans, or legal action.

Social Media Furious With Lamar Jackson
The incident happened in the third quarter of the Bills vs Ravens game on Sunday Night Football when Lamar Jackson was celebrating a 29-yard touchdown to DeAndre Hopkins. Despite the NFL rules mandating a penalty against fans who touch players on the field, viewers on the NBC broadcast were not convinced the fan deserved ejection.
“Wow…a kid hits Lamar Jackson’s helmet and Lamar pushes the kid in retaliation. Wonder what the NFL will have to say about that,” one fan said.
