Horrifying scenes at Falcons-Saints game as fan throws man to ground and stomps on his head in vicious NFL brawl

The NFL was once again marred by sickening scenes of violence on Sunday as another brawl ripped through the stands.

During this week’s heated NFC South matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons, things also got disturbingly heated in the stands.

Viral footage on social media showed a man in a Falcons jersey launching himself over a row of seats to pounce on another spectator who had been knocked to the ground at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The Falcons fan violently stomped on the fallen supporter’s head three times before being pulled away.

Meanwhile, further down the line, a man could be seen grabbing another around the neck with a headlock before tumbling over two rows of seats.

According to an account that shared the clip, several women were also injured during the brutal brawl.

The sickening, violent scenes mark a continuation of the epidemic that has plagued the NFL in recent seasons.

Earlier this season, a violent brawl broke out at SoFi Stadium when the Raiders played the Chargers, leaving a man bloodied and unconscious while a woman’s body was smashed to the ground.

Fan violence got out of hand during several NFL games in the stadium last year.

In September 2023, a fan even died after a fight during a New England Patriots game.

Fan violence spiraled out of control during NFL games at the stadium last year, with Raiders and Chargers fans even clashing several times at SoFi Stadium last October.

Patriots fan Dale Mooney, 53, collapsed and died after being punched by a Dolphins fan at Gillette Stadium.

Disturbing footage obtained by NBC10 showed the father of two and former Patriots ticket holder, who was donning Jones’ No. 10 jersey, being thrown at him by a Dolphins fan.

The blow came together, with eyewitnesses saying Mooney fell to the ground moments later during the huge brawl. He was then rushed to a nearby hospital before being pronounced dead.

However, an autopsy concluded that Mooney was not killed directly by the Dolphins fans’ blow and may have succumbed to an undisclosed “medical issue.”

The Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office said the autopsy revealed a medical problem that may have contributed to his death.

District Attorney Michael Morrissey confirmed the issue may have contributed to his death, but the case needs further testing.

The Giants, the 49ers, the Bengals, the Commanders, the Rams, the Broncos, the Ravens and the Seahawks all saw nasty scenes – in the stands or around the stadium – go viral last year.

A 2023 survey found that nearly 40 percent of NFL fans witnessed crime in or around an NFL stadium; approximately one in fourteen has become a victim themselves. Nowhere have fans seen more disorder (63 percent) than at Lincoln Financial Field – home of the Philadelphia Eagles. The most common crime we’ve witnessed? Physical violence.

Less than two percent of Colts fans, meanwhile, said they would be comfortable letting their children go to Lucas Oil Stadium unaccompanied. This was 77 percent for all 32 teams.

Nearly three-quarters of female Lions fans (74 percent) admitted they would not feel comfortable near Ford Field; throughout the competition this was 45 percent. And yet perhaps the most striking feature of this wave of violence is the number of women carrying out the violence.
