Knowing how Philadelphia is, you already know this is probably true.

A couple of players from the Buffalo Bills are speaking out after video has been circulating of a physical altercation that popped off with an Eagles fan, which could potentially result in punishment for the NFL stars.

Shaq Lawson and Jordan Phillips, who are both defensive linemen for the Buffalo Bills with the former seen on the footage pushing the fan, published separate Instagram statements. Each Lawson and Phillips claim that the Philly fan was yelling threats at them and about their families during the game at Lincoln Financial Field.

Other Buffalo linemen Greg Rousseau and Ed Oliver were with Lawson and Phillips, with the four big men confronting the Birds fan as he was screaming whatever nonsense that he was screaming.

Lawson had this to say on Instagram, per OutKick:

“Before the game started yesterday, there was a fan behind our bench who was making life-threatening remarks towards us and our families. We asked Philadelphia security to remove the fan, but he was allowed to stay for the entire game. Eventually our emotions boiled over, and I made a mistake. For that I apologize, but there are certain lines that should not be crossed.” (RELATED: Another Week, Another Rigging In The NFL — I Tried To Tell Y’all About Those Philadelphia Refereeagles)
