https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/09/19/a-fan-struck-kyler-murray-in-the-face-after-sundays-overtime-win/After the Cardinals managed to reverse a 20-0 deficit and beat the Raiders in overtime, Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray had a moment to remember.

Via the Associated Press, someone at the game struck Murray in the face.

When I first read this article, I was thinking someone punched Murray, but looking at the video, it looks like (to me) a Raiders fan in the second row pushed Murray...


And I don't know how to feel about this,
~ on one hand, fans shouldn't put their hands on players...
~ on the other hand, Murray specifically went to fans (most likely to do a celebration with what I assume to be his brother or friend) so that they the fans could put their hands on him...


Also, I'm comparing this to the Lambeau Leap, which is also when a player goes to the fans, not the fans going to the player.

But when an opposing team does the Lambeau Leap at Lambeau, I absolutely love when fans push them back to the field not letting them stay up in the stands.


The worst part of this is that I think the fan might of gotten Murray's eyes, but that looks like a complete accident.

So what are your feelings about this fan (or see if you even notice in the first clip).



This clip sorta pauses it on the moment...
