Northwest Stadium has issued a ban to a fan who jumped onto the field during the Commanders’ game against the Lions on Sunday.
During the game, a fan in a white Jayden Daniels Washington jersey was seen leaping over the wall and jumping onto the visiting sideline. He didn’t get far. The moment his feet touched the turf, one of his shoes fell off. About one step later, he was corralled by multiple security guards, who didn’t hesitate to lay him out with some vicious tackling.

There had been some speculation that his antics were in response to a verbal dispute with a Lions player, specifically long snapper Hogen Hatten. A video went viral in which the individual who ran onto the field appeared to be speaking with Hatten. The Lions' long snapper took to social media to clear the air after the game and denied any such conversation. Hatten explained that he was actually having a “fun conversation” with a different young fan in the stands, and had never even spoken to the individual who was later seen running onto the field.
Regardless of what spurred that individual to attempt to get onto the field, they won’t be back at Northwest Stadium supporting the Commanders anytime soon.
