Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens started their 2025 season with a painful 41-40 loss to the Buffalo Bills. John Harbaughâs 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 NBCâs 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.
Did Lamar Jackson get fined or suspended?
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.
âThe NFL will not fine Lamar Jackson for his interaction Sunday night with a Bills fan. âThe matter has been addressed by the club and there is no further action from the league,â per NFL official Brian McCarthy.â
