Packers fan who stopped Joe Mixon's Lambeau Leap attempt ejected – or was he?

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Joe Mixon might not have completed his Lambeau Leap in the first half, but it prevented one Green Bay Packers fan from watching the rest of Sunday’s 24-22 victory over the Houston Texans.

Or at least that was the plan.

With 11:52 left in the second quarter, Mixon scored on a 2-yard run to give the Texans a 10-7 lead. Trying to mimic the Packers' fabled leap, Mixon jogged over to the stands where a lone Texans fan waited. A Packers fan dressed in a team ballcap with green-and-yellow overalls pushed Mixon away twice, grabbing the running back’s face mask on his second attempt.
