ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills pass rusher Shaq Lawson apologized Monday for shoving a Philadelphia Eagles fan behind the team’s bench after alleging the person was making threatening remarks about players and their families.
Lawson said the fan began heckling players before the game began, and was allowed to stay at his seat after the Bills asked stadium security officials to have the person removed.
“Eventually, our emotions boiled over and I made a mistake,” Lawson wrote.
"What I’m aware of is that people were asked to have the fan removed and nothing was done,” McDermott said.
It’s just unfortunate overall that that would be taking place during a game.”___AP Sports Writer Dan Gelston in Philadelphia contributed.
