Buffalo Bills star Jordan Phillips confronted an Eagles fan on Sunday night as tempers flared during a tense overtime thriller in Philadelphia.
The Bills suffered a bitter defeat at Lincoln Financial Field, where Jalen Hurts gave the Eagles a 37-34 victory after Jake Elliott scored the equalizer with 20 seconds left.
Before Hurts scored the game-winning touchdown, several Bills players went into the stands to confront an Eagles fan who appeared to egg them on during the game.
In a clip that has gone viral on social media, Phillips runs straight up to the supporter and gets in his face after appearing to take exception to something the supporter said.
The defensive tackle is then supported by several of his Buffalo teammates, including defensive end Shaq Lawson – who at one point pushes the fan before walking away.

has reached out to the Buffalo Bills for comment.
Hurts scored the game-winning touchdown on a quarterback draw with 2:37 left in overtime, helping the Eagles to a 37-34 victory 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 game-winning block.
Philadelphia’s Jake Elliott tied the game with a 59-yard field goal with 20 seconds left. After the Bills took the lead with a field goal on OT’s first possession, Hurts ran virtually untouched for the 12-yard score that made the Eagles the only 10-1 team in the NFL.
Hurts threw three touchdowns and ran for two more, and he passed Buffalo’s Josh Allen while leading the Eagles back from a 17-7 halftime deficit for the second straight game.
It was a disappointing night for Buffalo as Jalen Hurts won in overtime for the Eagles
Hurts left the field with his arms outstretched and cheered as fans cheered. He hit DeVonta Smith for 17- and 11-yard receptions in OT, and D’Andre Swift had a 16-yard run to set up Hurts’ walk-off TD.
Allen threw for 339 yards and two touchdowns and had 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 by James Bradbury in the fourth quarter, setting up Hurts’ 29-yard TD pass to Olamide Zaccheaus that gave Philly a 28-24 lead.
Allen took advantage of a 15-yard scramble and a 15-yard roughing-the-passer penalty on the first drive of OT to set the Bills up for the win. Tyler Bass – who had missed two field goals – made the go-ahead shot from 40 yards with 5:52 left.
