The NFL has decided that a fan did not purposely spill a drink on Bengals running back Chase Brown after Cincinnati’s win in Carolina on Sunday.
Video showed a fan seemingly pouring a drink on Brown as he was leaving the field and going into the tunnel at Bank of America Stadium.
“The league’s review of the matter determined that portions of a drink were accidentally spilled on the Cincinnati player as Bengals fans tried to catch the gloves he tossed to them,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement Thursday.
Joe Burrow and Chase Brown in the practice“The league looked at video from different angles from stadium security cameras and also from social media.”
If the league had thought the fan intentionally spilled the drink, a lifetime ban from the stadium could have been a possible punishment.
