An angry Patriots fan decided to throw beer at Tyreek Hill after the Chiefs receiver scored a touchdown on Sunday night. The Pats have taken swift action against the culprit.
As announced in a statement on Monday, the Patriots are banning the fan who threw his beer in the face of Hill after he caught a 75-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter, which tied the game 40-40 at the time.
You can see the incident below, as a fan in a Patriots jersey and blue hat waves his beer bottle in Hill’s face, shooting beer all over the Chiefs receiver.

“Gillette Stadium security has identified the fan who violated the fan code of conduct by tossing beer onto a player during the game last night. The matter has been turned over to local law enforcement and the fan will be sent a letter of disinvite to all future events at Gillette Stadium,” the team’s statement reads.

Hill finished with seven catches for 142 yards and three touchdowns in the game, which the Pats won 43-40. The fan who threw beer on him after touchdown No. 3 will certainly regret his decision for a long time.
