Ravens QB1 Lamar Jackson Honors His Debt of Gratitude With a 10-Year Promise

Baltimore, MD – September 5, 2025 — Authorities in Baltimore arrested a Texans fan on Sunday morning after he allegedly made armed threats toward Ravens fans outside M&T Bank Stadium, just moments before kickoff of the heated Ravens vs. Texans Week 5 matchup. The suspect, identified as Derrick James Holloway, 34, of Houston, Texas, has been charged with aggravated assault, making terroristic threats, carrying a firearm without a license, and disorderly conduct, officials confirmed. According to police, the confrontation unfolded around 10:30 a.m. in Lot B, where tailgating crowds were swelling ahead of the Sunday afternoon showdown. Witnesses reported that the man, wearing Texans gear, became aggressive in a heated exchange and brandished a handgun while shouting threats at nearby Ravens fans. Security personnel immediately intervened, detaining the suspect before Baltimore police arrived on the scene. Officers recovered a loaded .40 caliber pistol from his waistband along with additional ammunition. No shots were fired and no injuries were reported. The area was briefly locked down as police interviewed witnesses and reviewed surveillance footage. Within 20 minutes, the situation was declared safe, and fans were allowed to return to their pregame celebrations as kickoff approached. Officials credited the quick response of stadium security and law enforcement for preventing what could have been a dangerous escalation. “Our top priority is the safety of every fan,” a Baltimore police spokesperson said. “Because of fast action, the incident was contained without harm.” In response, security screenings at M&T Bank Stadium were tightened, with all spectators required to undergo enhanced checks before entering the stadium. Despite the scare, the clash between the Ravens and Texans proceeded as scheduled. The incident underscored the intensity of NFL game days and served as a sobering reminder of the need for vigilance on Sunday afternoons in Baltimore.
