Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Alaric Jackson is projected to receive a two-game league suspension after striking Buffalo Bills edge rusher Bradley Chubb following Monday's game, according to reporting from Fox News and Fox Sports. Video captured Jackson confronting Chubb near midfield and hitting him in the face with a bare-knuckle punch as players congregated after the final whistle.
Chubb declined to physically respond to the strike, explaining to reporters that league officials and cameras routinely penalize the second participant in an altercation. Fox Sports reported that the confrontation took place at SoFi Stadium following Buffalo's 37-34 overtime triumph, noting that Jackson had discarded his shoulder pads prior to the clash and had to be pulled away by tight end Colby Parkinson.
According to Fox News, Jackson is expected to contest the impending punishment. The outlet also detailed that Jackson previously served a two-game league penalty in 2024 and faced a domestic violence arrest four months earlier that remains under NFL review, creating renewed personnel concerns for a 2-3 Los Angeles roster relying on him to protect quarterback Matthew Stafford.
How outlets are covering this
Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson is facing an expected two-game suspension after striking Buffalo Bills defender Bradley Chubb after Monday night's game. Cameras recorded Jackson landing a punch to Chubb's face during postgame jersey exchanges, prompting league discipline that Jackson is expected to appeal.
Shared reporting
- Alaric Jackson is expected to be suspended for two games by the NFL for punching Bradley Chubb.
- The physical altercation occurred on the field near midfield shortly after Monday night's game between the Rams and Bills concluded.
- Chubb elected not to strike Jackson back, commenting that cameras always catch the person who retaliates second.
- The Los Angeles Rams currently hold a 2-3 record with Jackson serving as their starting left tackle protecting quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Different framing
- Fox News highlighted Jackson's prior disciplinary history—citing a 2024 suspension and a June 2026 arrest—framing the punch as part of an ongoing pattern of behavioral volatility.
- Fox Sports framed the incident primarily around on-field logistics, detailing the 37-34 overtime score, the specific sequence involving jersey swaps, Jackson's contract value, and the games he would miss against upcoming opponents.
Why it matters
A multi-game absence for Jackson leaves the Rams vulnerable along Matthew Stafford's blind side at a critical juncture as the 2-3 team fights to stay competitive in the NFC.
