In yet another incident of a fan in the stands interacting with a NFL player from the opposing team, a Green Bay Packers cheesehead was seen pushing Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers after the player performed his own version of the Lambeau Leap.
Flowers had just scored on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Huntley in the fourth quarter to help increase the Ravens’ lead to 10 points.
The Pro Bowl wide receiver found a female Ravens fan sitting in a sea of yellow and green and jumped to embrace her in the stands to celebrate.
But a fan in a Packers jersey and wearing a cheesehead hat aggressively pushed Flowers off the edge and back onto the field.
A security officer who was near the barrier appeared to intervene, but it did not seem that the incident escalated from there.
The incident comes nearly a week after a Detroit Lions fan had an altercation with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf during a pivotal game that ultimately cost the Lions a playoff berth.
The Steelers star was seen grabbing the fan’s shirt and taking a swing at the young man, who reportedly had been heckling him.
WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE:
Metcalf was suspended for two games over the incident, and the wide receiver will forfeit $555,556 in salary. The suspension also voids $45 million in future guaranteed money, according to his contract, ESPN reported.
There remains controversy over what sparked the incident. Metcalf reportedly told a teammate that the fan used a racial slur and called his mother a “cunt.”
The fan’s attorney called those allegations “completely false.”
Former Detroiter Lowell Cauffiel has suffered his entire life as a Lions fan, but is also the best-selling author of Below the Line and nine other crime novels and nonfiction titles. See lowellcauffiel.com for more.
