Packers fan who stopped Joe Mixon from taking a Lambeau jump ejected

At least that was the plan.

With 11:52 left in the second quarter, Mixon scored on a 2-yard run to give the Texans a 10-7 lead. Mixon jogged to the stands, where a lone Texans fan was waiting, trying to imitate the Packers' fabled jump. A Packers fan, dressed in a team ball cap and green and yellow jumpsuit, pushed Mixon to the ground twice and grabbed the running back's face mask on the second attempt.

Shortly thereafter, police officers arrived in the corner end zone to eject the fan. The fan was ejected, according to the team, for “excessive” force, a violation of the team’s fan code of conduct. It is not uncommon for fans to come into conflict with opposing players attempting to jump into the stands, occasionally resulting in physical contact or the spilling of beer on a player. However, the altercation on Sunday led to a dismissal because it was a border violation.

Mixon and the fan exchanged words on the sidelines after the altercation. The fan appeared to trick Mixon as he walked back to the Texans sideline.
