DETROIT -- The Lions confirmed to ESPN that the team has revoked the season tickets of a fan who had a pregame verbal altercation with Packers coach Matt LaFleur at Ford Field last week.

A TV camera caught the end of a heated exchange between LaFleur and Fahad Yousif, a Lions fan from Farmington Hills, Michigan, who was part of the group holding the giant flag for the national anthem last Thursday night.

LaFleur could be seen yelling at the fan, but said his actions were provoked.

"I've never been a part of something like that," LaFleur said following Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Lions.
