The NFL action and madness just does not seem to be dying down. The current season has showcased action like no other, treating fans to some brilliant footballing on the field. Off the field, however, NFL fans have earned themselves a reputation they would want to shrug off rather quickly.
While the football on display has been nothing but top-notch, the fans and their behaviour has come under the radar. A viral video doing rounds on social media showed the moment Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers fans broke into a brawl. The whole incident took place right inside the SoFi stadium and is another addition to the many fan fights this season.

Security and police officers at the stadium rushed to bring the chaos under control as the fans lost total control of their emotions and let rage take over. Many were slammed to the floor, others pushed and punched.
The scenes truly were disturbing to watch. There was a slippery patch that made multiple people fall to the floor, adding to the madness. Lately, things have gotten quite out of hand with NFL fansâ passion and enthusiasm.
Fanâs madness just does not seem to end
During the same weekend, Chicago Bears fans too broke into a brutal brawl at the Soldier Stadium. Only this time, it was between fans of the same side and not opponents. This worrying trend forced the NFL organizers to release a statement and highlight that fan safety and experience are of great importance to them.
Netizens had contrasting emotions about the fan war. Some called it usual, and others had their own unique solutions to reduce the madness. Here are some of the top reactions.
