Atlanta Falcons receiver KhaDarel Hodge just wanted to celebrate an overtime win over the rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he also captured video of fans fighting in the background.

Hodge filmed a video in celebration shortly after delivering his game-winning 45-yard touchdown catch-and-run in overtime. He spun around delivering a message to the fans, and in doing so he perfectly framed a female fan in the front row throwing punches.
The boom microphone captured the audio of the punches connecting.
for real what kind of NFL Films quality camera setup is this because I SWEAR I CAN HEAR EVERY PUNCH AS IT CONNECTS from that brawl in the front row… despite all the loud music & background noise

"Got a whole ass woman going Stone Cold in the background and no one noticing," one person joked on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Others weighed in and said that the brawl in the background was "crazy."
Another video provided a different angle of the end of the fight. One man was lying in the aisle. He had one person in a Kyle Pitts jersey pulling an arm and another pulling a leg while wearing a Julio Jones jersey. This was after multiple punches connected in Hodge's video.
The man ultimately climbed to his feet and walked off after security got involved.
"Only in Atlanta can the Falcons win in dramatic OT fashion, but the real show starts in the stands with fans throwing hands right after," one person posted on X.
This is not the first incident involving fans this season. A fight broke out between fans during a Sept. 29 game. The Saints and Falcons were the two teams playing. These two fanbases do not remotely like each other.
These fights, which unfolded in the upper deck of the stadium, were far more serious in nature. One had a fan passed out and bloodied and another fan appeared to be choking them.
A separate fight involved a man violently stomping on another who was passed out on the ground. The two attackers in the video fled the scene after the fight.
