It didn't take long for the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills to get a little physical in this one. Sunday Night Football delivered as two NFL MVPs squared off in a match between teams that weren't particularly fond of one another.
Speaking of a lack of fondness, Lamar Jackson was on the receiving end of a fan who tried to hit him in the head from the stands in this one. After Jackson tossed a touchdown to DeAndre Hopkins in the second half, he went to celebrate with his wide receiver.
The two of them celebrated while walking along the front row of the stands and one Bills fan thought it was a good idea to reach out and try to smack Jackson on his helmet.

Jackson responded by going right back at the fan. The quarterback quickly shoved the fan backwards, and justifiably so. If a fan is going to try to cause any type of harm to a player, they better be ready for that player to respond.
Those types of actions cannot go unpunished. That Bills fan looked a little younger, too, and comes from a generation and society where people think they can say and do whatever they want without consequences.
Well, my friend, Jackson quickly made it known that there would be consequences. Although the league might decide to investigate the matter a little further, it doesn't matter what the NFL winds up doing. Jackson was 100 percent justified in his response.
And guess what? Jackson wasn't the only Raven targeted by Bills fans on this night.
To make the Bills fan base look even worse, Derrick Henry had a beer can thrown at him after his long touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Now, the broadcast didn't quite catch it. But, fans posted all about it on social media, including a video of the incident.
I guess, when you're being completely dismantled at home, in prime time, it's tough to keep your composure.
