The Bills Fan Who Was Hit By Lamar Jackson Apologizes With His Neck Brace On

Buffalo, NY – September 8, 2025

The most infamous fan in the NFL right now has finally spoken. The Buffalo Bills supporter who leaned over the railing and shoved Ravens stars DeAndre Hopkins and Lamar Jackson during Sunday’s heated matchup has issued a public apology — this time, wearing a neck brace.

The bizarre scene unfolded after Hopkins’ touchdown in the third quarter, when the man in a red Bills jacket struck Hopkins’ helmet before pushing Jackson seconds later. Hopkins walked away, but Jackson fired back with a two-handed shove. That moment exploded across social media, sparking outrage, memes, and demands for action.

On Monday, Bills owner Terry Pegula announced the fan has been banned from all Bills games for the rest of the 2025 season, with the punishment extending to the franchise’s upcoming new stadium. Pegula didn’t mince words:

“Fans are here to celebrate the game, not endanger the players. This conduct will never be tolerated in Buffalo.”

Now, the fan at the center of it all appeared on local television with a neck brace, reading a written statement of regret.

“I want to apologize to Lamar Jackson, to DeAndre Hopkins, and to the Ravens organization. My emotions got the best of me. I should never have put my hands on a player. I regret everything.”

The irony wasn’t lost on viewers: the man who shoved players is now the one in a neck brace, becoming a trending topic across X and TikTok with the tag “THE Bills Fan.”

Around the league, players and fans have largely sided with Jackson, calling his pushback restrained compared to the provocation. Many praised the Bills for moving swiftly to punish the fan and protect the integrity of the game.

As one Ravens player put it: “If a fan thinks they can touch us without consequences, they’re wrong. Respect goes both ways.”

For now, the NFL community continues to debate how far accountability should go — but one thing is certain: the image of “THE Bills Fan” in a neck brace, apologizing for his actions, has cemented itself as one of the strangest viral moments of the 2025 season.

Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection.
