Police are investigating allegations that a fan at Allegiant Stadium hit Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray during a celebration of the team’s 29-23 overtime victory on Sunday.

The Cardinals sideline stormed the field after Byron Murphy Jr.’s scoop-and-score on a Las Vegas Raiders fumble in overtime, and Murray ran up to fans in the front row behind the end zone where it appeared a fan smacked him in the face.

Murray turned around and seemed to try to identify the fan that struck him, but he went back on the field to continue his celebration.

The complaint of battery was confirmed to the Associated Press by Las Vegas police spokesman Officer Larry Hadfield at around 6:30 p.m.

Murray was not the reporting person, per Hadfield, but the allegation was made that "a spectator at the stadium struck a professional football player."
