A day after a fan at Gillette Stadium threw beer onto Kansas City's Tyreek Hill, the New England Patriots on Monday announced they have identified the fan, banned him from their stadium and turned the matter over to law enforcement.

The incident happened with little more than three minutes remaining in the game Sunday night after Hill scored on a 75-yard catch-and-run to tie the game at 40-40. As Hill sprinted down the sideline and into the end zone, his momentum carried him through the end zone and up against the railing of the end-zone seats.

He was immediately met with numerous middle fingers in his face before a fan threw beer into Hill's face.

After the game, Hill told the media:

"My coach (Andy Reid) told me, 'Don't get emotional. Don't get mad about it, because it comes with the territory,' " Hill said, per Boston.com. "I'm not mad at all."

The Patriots would respond with a 65-yard drive that culminated with a 28-yard field goal as time expired to give New England a 43-40 win and hand the Chiefs their first loss of the season.
