Atlanta Falcons outside linebacker Matthew Judon was in no mood to be trolled on Sunday night
Just before the Falcons were set to take on the Commanders at Northwest Stadium on Sunday Night Football, some fans were on the sidelines taking in the sights and sounds.
A number of them were fans of the Commanders and wanted their time in the spotlight as Falcons players walked by them.
One video first shows inside linebacker Josh Woods being heckled by Commanders fans as he stared them down before telling them to come his way as he walked to the tunnel.
Matthew Judon was a lot more hands-on with his reaction.
A fan could be heard saying he wasn’t going to do anything tonight during the game when Judon first jumped at him. Then, he smacked the other fan or his phone as he walked off.

Judon actually did a lot during this game. He had four combined tackles and one sack of Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, which set up a second-and-30.
Judon has 39 combined tackles, 5.5 sacks, one interception, five passes defensed, and one touchdown for the season.
as Traded Without Getting A New Deal
Where will Judon end up in 2025?
The New England Patriots traded LB Matthew Judon to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a 2025 third-round draft pick.
This is the final year of a four-year, $54.5 million contract that he signed with the Patriots in 2021.
He made it clear that he wasn’t going to press the Falcons to give him a new deal.
“The Atlanta Falcons know nothing about me as a football player, as a man, or that stuff,” Judon said, per NFL.com. “They only know my previous resume. I can’t really demand or ask for anything I haven’t worked for, and that’s where I’ve been my whole life. I’m gonna work for it.”
Matthew Judon is set to be a free agent at the end of the 2024 season.
