Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Shaq Lawson got into an altercation with a fan during a Week 12 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Lawson's teammate, Jordan Phillips, who was also involved in the incident with the fan, later said the fan made threatening statements about his family.

"I love the crowd I love rowdy fans it makes the game fun," Phillips wrote on Instagram Monday. "But one thing I'm not going to tolerate is someone threatening me or my family. This is a line that shouldn't be crossed."

On Friday, the Bills decided to punish Lawson for his actions, according to a report from NFL Media's Tom Pelissero. According to the report, Lawson was "fined an undisclosed amount for his interaction with a fan in the game against Philadelphia."

During the confrontation, Phillips yelled in the fan's face as the fan appeared to repeatedly antagonize the Bills players. That’s when Lawson shoved the fan before walking away. Stadium security also got involved, though the fan was never escorted out of the stadium.

It is unlikely Lawson will face further discipline from the NFL. The case is considered closed, according to Pelissero.
