Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens started their 2025 season with a painful 41-40 loss to the Buffalo Bills. John Harbaughās team held a 40-25 lead in the fourth quarter but let slip a victory that seemed certain.
Additionally, during that blockbuster game, a very controversial incident took social media by storm when NBCās broadcast caught a Bills fan hitting DeAndre Hopkins in the helmet and doing the same to Jackson while they were celebrating a touchdown.
Although Hopkins ignored the fan, Lamar did respond by shoving him and pushing him back toward his seat. Given the situation, there was a lot of uncertainty over whether the Ravens star would face an NFL suspension or a hefty fine.

Lamar Jackson will not be suspended nor fined following the incident with a Buffalo Bills fan in Week 1. The information was confirmed in a report by Adam Schefter.
