Defensive end Shaq Lawson of the Buffalo Bills was observed acting aggressively toward and seemingly pushing a Philadelphia Eagles supporter on Sunday during his team’s 37-34 overtime loss.
Everyone has seen the video by now of Jordan Phillips, the defensive tackle for the Buffalo Bills, confronting the fan in the first row. Several players joined him, and at one point Lawson appeared to give the supporter a right-hand shove.
We now have a video from the scene that demonstrates the true intensity of that altercation.
My view of the interaction between Jordan Phillips, Shaq Lawson and Eagles fans behind the Bills bench.

The supporters are yelled at by all four Bills players, and Lawson even seems to give one of them a right arm shove. The supporter persisted in taunting the linemen, seemingly unaffected. Linebacker Leonard Floyd and a staff member of the Bills approach the players to help them leave the incident and return to the bench.
The Bills were performing an offensive play while the game continued in the background. Jalen Hurts carried it in for the game-winning touchdown on the Buffalo Bills’ final possession in overtime, after the defense had blown leads late in the fourth quarter.
The Eagles defeated the Bills 37-34 in overtime, lowering Buffalo’s season record to 6-6 and endangering their chances of making the playoffs.
