Lamar Jackson is likely to receive a call from the league after the Bills-Ravens game. In the third quarter of Sunday night’s game, Jackson connected with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins for a highlight touchdown.
I am all here for the DeAndre Hopkins grab, but can we give a moment for this Lamar Jackson throw in double coverage that couldn’t be more accurate if he tried? Lamar’s accuracy is just RIDICULOUS pic.twitter.com/RnocAgAizY

After the touchdown, a Bills fan in the stands slapped both Hopkins and Jackson on the helmet. Jackson turned around and shoved the Bills fan.
DOES LAMAR JACKSON DESERVE TO GET SUSPENDED BY THE #NFL FOR HITTING A FAN IN THE STAND…?

Although Jackson could face trouble for touching a fan, fans don’t believe he was wrong.
“Don’t tell me Lamar Jackson did anything wrong here! He was simply responding to a fan being utterly ridiculous and doing something no fan should EVER do — make contact with a player.” commented NFL reporter Jordan Schultz
“There is NO excuse whatsoever for fans to be touching players. Lamar Jackson did nothing wrong here.” said another fan on social media.
It’ll be interesting to see how the NFL handles the Jackson situation, but it’s clear that he was defending himself after the fan crossed the line.
