Rams' Alaric Jackson Punches Bills' Bradley Chubb After Monday Night Loss
Jackson, shirtless and swapping jerseys at midfield, walked over and hit Chubb in the face after Buffalo's 37-34 overtime win. Chubb shrugged it off; the league has not commented and Jackson's status for Sunday is unknown.
Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson punched Buffalo Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb in the face near midfield after Monday night's 37-34 overtime loss in Inglewood. Jackson had taken off his pads and jersey and was exchanging jerseys with Bills lineman Deone Walker when Chubb appeared to say something, and Jackson walked over and swung with his right hand. Tight end Colby Parkinson pulled him away.
What did Chubb say?
Not much. "It's just emotions, you know what I mean? Emotional game," he told reporters in Buffalo's locker room, adding that "they always catch the second guy. So, I let him swing." Asked who threw the punch, he said, "Somebody swung, but hey, that's not on me to tell who," and that he was "ready for next week." Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was less restrained on X: "So what we gone do about dude hitting Chub!"
Will Jackson be disciplined?
Neither team had addressed the incident as of Tuesday morning and the NFL has not commented. Postgame punches have drawn fines and suspensions in the past, and a suspension would leave the Rams without their starting left tackle for Sunday's home game against Arizona. The Week 6 prediction for that game assumes Jackson's status is unresolved.
