Quick Summary

Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson is expected to face a two-game suspension from the NFL for punching Buffalo Bills defender Bradley Chubb after Monday night's game. The incident was captured on camera, with footage showing Jackson losing control and throwing a punch at Chubb during post-game handshakes. Despite Chubb remaining composed, Jackson's actions have been deemed a violation of sportsmanship rules. This suspension comes amid previous conduct issues for Jackson, including a felony domestic violence arrest in June 2026 and a 2024 incident involving the recording of intimate encounters without consent.

Narrative

The official suspension statement read, in part: "After the game, as players were shaking hands and exchanging jerseys, Jackson struck Buffalo linebacker Bradley Chubb in the face after a brief confrontation, violating Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, which applies to "any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship." Chubb, to his credit, took the higher road and kept his composure, letting Buffalo teammates pull him back, and allowed Jackson to bury himself on national television.
