Rams' Alaric Jackson Suspended 2 Games for Striking Bills LB Bradley Chubb After Monday Night Game
- The NFL suspended Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson for two games on Tuesday after he punched Bills outside linebacker Bradley Chubb following Monday's 37-34 overtime loss.
- At midfield following Buffalo's 37-34 overtime victory, an altercation erupted when Jackson approached Chubb. The Bills linebacker told reporters, "Somebody swung, but hey, that's not on me to tell who," describing it as an emotional game.
- In related fallout, the Rams released kicker Harrison Mevis after his missed field goal and blocked attempt in overtime. Rams head coach Sean McVay said the kicking game "cost us the game."
- Jackson will miss the next two games against the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders. The NFL is also reviewing potential fines for Rams lineman Braden Fiske and Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson for infractions during the contest.
- Although Jackson may appeal the suspension, he faces ongoing scrutiny regarding an off-field legal matter stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident earlier this year.
