Lamar Jackson is owning up to his mistake.
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback, 28, issued an apology to the Buffalo Bills fan he pushed in the third quarter of the team’s Sunday Night Football game at Highmark Stadium on Sept. 7.
Three days after Jackson shoved the fan — which occurred after the man in the crowd reached over the railing to hit Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins’ helmet before attempting to do the same to the QB himself — he reflected on his actions, and also offered advice.

“It just happened,” Jackson said after Wednesday’s practice. “I got pushed. I’m like, ‘What?’ I wasn’t even thinking about me being out there on the field. My apologies to him.”
As for his message to the intrusive fan who made contact following the Ravens touchdown?
“Just chill next time,” Jackson said. “You can talk trash and stuff but keep your hands to yourself.”
One day after the incident went down, a spokesperson from the league confirmed to NBC News that the fan who pushed Hopkins and Jackson has been banned from attending all NFL games, as well as NFL events such as the Super Bowl, the draft and the draft combine.

Per the outlet, the NFL said in a statement that “any fan that engages in unruly and disruptive behavior will lose the privilege of attending NFL games.
Penalties can include ejection, banishment from NFL games and events, and legal action.”
Meanwhile, Jackson — who shoved the fan back with both hands during the game — didn’t get penalized for his actions at the time, nor has the NFL yet disciplined the league two-time MVP.
ESPN reported that the Bills fan was ejected from the stadium after the incident, while Jackson remained in the game, which slipped away from the Ravens late as the Bills stormed back for a dramatic come-from-behind 41-40 win in the final seconds.
“He slapped me, and he was talking s—, so, I just forgot where I was for a little bit,” Jackson told reporters during his postgame press conference on Sunday. “You have to think in those situations.”
He added, “You have security out there; let security handle it. But I just let my emotions get the best of me.”
Jackson said that “hopefully, it doesn’t happen again. I learned from that.”
