Rams LT Alaric Jackson Strikes Bills LB Bradley Chubb After OT Game
Television cameras captured the exchange as teammates separated the players after the blow that knocked Chubb's hat off.
Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson struck Buffalo Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb in the head on Monday during postgame jersey exchanges following Buffalo's 37-34 overtime victory at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Television cameras captured Jackson following Chubb after the linebacker said something emphatic and walked away, then confronting him and striking a blow that knocked his hat off. Teammates quickly separated the pair.
The NFL may punish Jackson under Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, which forbids 'any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship.' Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch received a one-game suspension last season for similar conduct.
Jackson, who signed a three-year, $57 million deal in February 2025, was previously suspended two games in 2024 for an undisclosed violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. He now faces potential discipline again.
The altercation marred Buffalo's critical win, where edge rusher Greg Rousseau blocked a Rams field goal attempt in overtime. Quarterback Josh Allen then led the team on a game-winning drive to secure the 37-34 result.
