Bills Owner Terry Pegula Demands Bengals Owner Mike Brown Identify and Punish Female Bengals Fan Who Racially Harassed a Bills Supporter at Highmark Stadium

Orchard Park, New York – The aftermath of the highly anticipated Bills–Bengals matchup at Highmark Stadium took a dark turn Monday morning, when a viral video revealed a white female Bengals fan verbally attacking and racially insulting a Black Bills supporter in the stands. The footage spread rapidly across social media, sparking outrage throughout Western New York and drawing national scrutiny.

Within hours, Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula stepped in decisively.

Multiple sources confirmed that Pegula personally contacted Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown, urging him to launch an immediate investigation to identify the woman in the video and impose strict disciplinary measures — including a lifetime ban from Highmark Stadium.

Pegula, known for his calm demeanor, delivered one of his strongest public statements yet, making it clear that such behavior has no place in Buffalo or anywhere in the NFL.

“Every fan who walks into Highmark Stadium deserves to feel safe, respected, and protected — no exceptions. When racial harassment happens in our building, it violates everything we stand for as an organization and as a community. Respect isn’t optional in this sport — it’s mandatory. And I expect the Bengals organization to take swift action in addressing this incident.”

His words echoed across social media and sports networks, quickly becoming one of the most widely shared statements of the week.

According to reports, Mike Brown took Pegula’s request seriously and immediately coordinated with NFL Security, Highmark Stadium officials, and both teams' fan conduct departments to review surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts. The investigation is already underway, with efforts focused on identifying the woman within the next 48 hours.

This incident arrives at a time when the NFL has been working aggressively to promote safer, more inclusive stadium environments across the league. Yet the confrontation at Highmark Stadium was a stark reminder that issues of racial harassment persist — and demand a forceful response.

Bills fans across Western New York applauded Pegula’s decisive stance. Many praised him for protecting the dignity of Bills Mafia, a fanbase widely respected around the league for its passion, generosity, and unity.

The message from Pegula was unmistakable:
He will stand up for his fans, publicly and without hesitation.

As the investigation continues, one truth has already solidified:

The Buffalo Bills will not tolerate discrimination.
Terry Pegula will not allow racism to go unanswered.
And now the NFL — and the Bengals — must respond.
