Bills veteran could be in hot water after pushing Eagles fan
Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports

The Buffalo Bills lost an extremely frustrating game to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12 and some of those frustrations poured into the stands afterward.

A viral video from Barstool Philly 's X account shows Bills veteran, Shaq Lawson, shoving an Eagles fan in the stands. Lawson, along with Jordan Phillips and some other teammates are seen arguing with the fan before the shove. 

Phillips gets in the person's face and then Lawson pushes them, as you can see below:

Lawson will probably get in trouble for his actions

Leonard Floyd wisely pulled his guys away, but the damage had already been done by then and now, Lawson could face discipline from the NFL.

The NFL is extremely strict about physical interaction with fans and Lawson clearly violated any and all protocol regulating the rules. Per The Philadelphia Inquirer, a league source told them that Lawson "likely would be fined and probably suspended" for the incident. 

It's never a good idea to get into it with fans, even if it's just verbal interactions. Players typically never come out on the good side of the situation, no matter how obnoxious fans may be. And players should know to simply stay away from Philly fans, of all people. Just ask Joey Bosa what happens when you enter that arena.

Jordan Phillips was aggressive all night long, himself. The most blatant example is when he plowed into the Eagles offensive line on a 4th and inches as the Eagles prepared to run their patented Tush Push. Phillips drew an offsides call that was a lot more aggressive than your typical offsides interaction - it almost seemed intentional.

Regardless, the Bills can't afford to let things like this get the better of them. Cooler heads always prevail, especially in the NFL. But, it's too late, by now. We'll see what happens with Lawson and I'm sure we'll see the final outcome soon enough.
