Jackson and Hopkins were celebrating with teammates in the end zone following a touchdown pass in the third quarter. The NBC broadcast caught the fan crossing the line.
The star quarterback retaliated and shoved the fan.
"I (saw) him slap (DeAndre Hopkins), but I wasn’t really … He slapped me – he was talking, so I just forgot where I was for a little bit," Jackson explained to reporters after the game. "You have to think in those situations. You have security out there; let security handle it.

"But I just let my emotions get the best of me. Hopefully, it doesn’t happen again. I learned from that."
