Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips is now accusing Philadelphia Eagles fans of threatening himself, his family, or both prior to Sunday’s sideline scuffle.
‘I love the crowd I love rowdy fans it makes the game fun,’ Phillips wrote in a social media post. ‘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.’
Phillips was seen squaring up to an Eagles fan on Sunday night as tempers flared during the tense overtime thriller in Philadelphia. The Bills suffered an agonizing defeat at Lincoln Financial Field, where Jalen Hurts sealed a 37-34 win for the Eagles after Jake Elliott tied the game with 20 seconds remaining.
Before Hurts went on to score the winning touchdown, a number of Bills players walked over to the stands to confront an Eagles fan who appeared to be goading them during the game.
In a clip which has gone viral on social media, Phillips makes a beeline for the supporter and gets in their face after seemingly taking offence to something they said.

The defensive tackle is then backed up by several of his Buffalo teammates, including defensive end Shaq Lawson – who at one stage shoves the fan before walking away.
Greg Rousseau, Ed Oliver and Leonard Floyd can also be seen approaching the fan as the situation escalates.
Security then eventually intervenes as the fan continues to shout and gesture animatedly from the stands.
Bills spokespeople have not responded to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
Hurts scored the winning touchdown on a quarterback draw with 2:37 left in overtime to help the Eagles win 37-34 on a cold, rainy Sunday.
The Eagles quarterback had Jason Kelce to thank, after the veteran center returned from a quick bathroom break to make a crucial block in the play.
Philadelphia’s Jake Elliott tied the game with a 59-yard field goal with 20 seconds remaining. After the Bills went ahead with a field goal on the first possession of OT, Hurts ran virtually untouched for the 12-yard score that made the Eagles the only 10-1 team in the NFL.
It proved a disappointing night for Buffalo as Jalen Hurts won it for the Eagles in overtime
Hurts threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more, and he outdueled Buffalo’s Josh Allen while rallying the Eagles from a 17-7 halftime deficit for the second straight game.
Hurts walked off the field with his arms extended in celebration as fans roared. He hit DeVonta Smith for 17- and 11-yard receptions in OT, and D´Andre Swift had a 16-yard run to help set up Hurts´ walk-off TD.
Allen threw for 339 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two scores for the Bills (6-5), who are in danger of missing the playoffs after winning the AFC East the past three years.
But he was intercepted in the fourth quarter by James Bradbury, setting up Hurts’ 29-yard TD pass to Olamide Zaccheaus for a 28-24 Philly lead.
Allen used a 15-yard scramble and a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty on the first drive of OT to put the Bills in position for the win. Tyler Bass – who had missed two field goals – nailed the go-ahead kick from 40 yards with 5:52 left in OT.
