The NFL is expected to drop a two-game suspension on Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson. Why? Because he straight up punched Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb in the face after “Monday Night Football,” according to multiple reports. This isn’t just a slap on the wrist either, this is a massive hit to a team already trying to dig itself out of a hole.
The Postgame Mayhem Caught on Camera
So, what went down? The whole mess happened on the field right after Buffalo’s wild 37-34 overtime win at Sofi Stadium on Monday. Jackson was doing the traditional jersey swap with a Bills player when Chubb, from a distance, reportedly said something to Jackson and pointed right at him. Chubb then turned and started walking away, but Jackson didn’t let it go. He followed Chubb, they exchanged more words, and then Jackson absolutely decked Chubb in the face. ESPN cameras caught the entire incident during their postgame coverage. You know it’s bad when the cameras are still rolling and catching *that*.
Rams’ Season Just Hit a New Low
This suspension is a huge blow for the Rams, who entered the season as legit Super Bowl favorites. After that loss to Buffalo, they’re sitting at a shaky 2-3. Now, they’ve gotta play their next two games without Alaric Jackson, who is, by all accounts, their most important offensive lineman. Talk about bad timing. This is a critical juncture for their season, and losing the guy protecting Matthew Stafford’s blindside is no joke. Backup David Quessenberry is looking like the next man up at left tackle, but you just know the pressure is on. This team needed to turn things around, and now they’ve gotta do it short-handed. What a mess.
