The Bills might have pulled off a wild 37-34 overtime win against the Rams on “Monday Night Football,” but the actual fireworks kicked off long after the final whistle. Los Angeles offensive tackle Alaric Jackson confronted and sucker-punched Bills edge rusher Bradley Chubb right on the field. This whole thing went down near midfield when most of SoFi Stadium had already cleared out.

What Went Down After the Buzzer

It’s still totally unclear what sparked this whole mess. But Jackson and Chubb were practically glued to each other on the field for a huge chunk of the night, especially with Matthew Stafford slinging 54 passes and Jackson protecting his blindside at left tackle. The video shows Jackson walking right up to Chubb, exchanging some words with the veteran pass-rusher, and then just letting loose with a punch to the face. The hit was hard enough to knock Chubb’s hat clean off his head. Talk about a wild finish to a game that was already insane!

The Fallout for Jackson

Thankfully, other players who were still lingering on the field stepped in pretty quickly to stop things from escalating even further. But let’s be real, this isn’t just some minor dust-up. This kind of action is definitely going to lead to some serious punishment from the league for Jackson. It’s not like he doesn’t have a history, either: Jackson was charged with felony domestic violence after an arrest back in June. He’s been a full-time starter for the Rams since 2023 and hasn’t missed a single game this season, which just makes this whole post-game incident even more surprising and potentially damaging for his career. The NFL isn’t going to let this slide, no way.
