A forgotten moment in an eventful NFL season opener between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs occurred early in the fourth quarter when Patrick Mahomes was running to the sidelines and was hit by Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith.

As Mahomes ran out of bounds on third-and-3, which resulted in a first down, the Ravens linebacker contacted him, and he went down to the ground. However, no penalty was thrown.

Footage from the play showed somebody not in uniform taking took exception to the contact and shoved Roquan Smith from behind, leading to a small skirmish.

Something similar happened last year when Big Dom from the Eagles found himself suspended after the Week 13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, where DiSandro found himself in the spotlight for his quick physical altercation with Niners linebacker Dre Greenlaw on the Philly sideline.

 

Fans quickly took to the comments and demanded the unknown member to be suspended.

It turns out that person on the sideline was tight end Peyton Hendershot.

It remains to be seen if the league will step in and do anything to him.

Roquan Smith Sends Stern Message To Chiefs Player That Pushed Him On Sideline

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith took exception to him being pushed and had a warning postgame for Kansas City Chiefs tight end Peyton Hendershot.

During the Ravens’ loss to the Chiefs to kick off the new NFL season, there was a moment where Kansas City’s star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was scrambling to pick up a first down and headed toward the sideline.

Roquan Smith pushed Mahomes late, and the quarterback went down to the ground.

Smith, who was waving his hands, said Mahomes tried to sell it as a penalty.

“Oh, he flopped. Yeah, he flopped,” Smith told reporters postgame, per Fox News. “That’s why the referees didn’t call it – it was a great no-call by the ref.”

As he was waving his hands, Hendershot, who was in street clothes as an inactive player, got in Roquan Smith’s face and pushed him.

Smith had a warning for him after the game.

“But, whoever [number] 88 is, I don’t know who he is, but he better watch himself,” Smith said. “He did a little slick push.”

The 2024 Paris Olympics was Stephen Curry’s first ever appearance in the Paris Olympics. The Golden State Warriors star poured so much athleticism into his first appearance on the international stage that caught everyone’s attention, including popular NBA analyst Skip Bayless.

After Team USA’s 98-87 victory over France in the Olympics final, LeBron James was crowned with the MVP title of the tournament. Soon after that, Bayless stirred controversy by posting on social media that LeBron should not win the MVP title. Rather, the sports analyst sees Curry as the real winner of the title.

I’M SORRY, NOW THERE’S NO WAY LEBRON IS MVP. IT HAS TO BE STEPH. 17 THREES IN THE SEMI AND THE FINAL. WE WOULD NOT HAVE WON EITHER WITHOUT HIM,” Bayless wrote in an X post.

Curry scored 24 points in the final game against France. With his outstanding shooting skills, the Warriors star hit eight three-pointers, three of which came in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. On the other hand, James contributed 14 points and 10 assists and shot an impressive 60% from the field.
