Last night's AFC East matchup between the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills was a doozy. There was plenty of scoring and big plays, but it was the Jets who sustained drives and ultimately won, 37-31.
In route to victory, one of New York's touchdowns came courtesy of a Ryan Fitzpatrick–Eric Decker connection. The talented receiver found himself in single coverage before easily beating his man to the inside for the score.
As Decker approached the crowd with the ball, he singled out one super excited Jets fan. I mean, this guy was really going nuts after his team just extended the lead.
Decker acknowledged the fan by going to celebrate with him, and before he knew it, this happened:

That couldn't not have felt good.
To be fair, it's the fan who pulls Decker's head in for the headbutt. And, Eric didn't exactly put much force behind the blow.
He might have a headache this morning, but that's a memory this fan will never forget.
