In particular, the subsequent touch of the Ravens has encountered more confrontation. On the other side of the stadium in the fourth quarter, someone launched a bottle of frozen water that landed near the Ballon holder Derrick Henry in the goal area after his score of 46 yards.
As for Jackson, he said on Wednesday that the NFL had not informed him of a potential discipline that he would be confronted because of his altercation. Jackson had conversations with the director general of Ravens Eric Decosta and head coach John Harbaugh about what happened, according to ESPN.
