Rams LT Alaric Jackson Strikes Bills LB Bradley Chubb After Game

Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson struck Buffalo Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb in the head during postgame jersey exchanges following Buffalo’s 37-34 overtime victory, according to television camera footage and The Associated Press.

Postgame Altercation Erupts After Overtime Loss

Television broadcasts captured Bradley Chubb walking away and speaking emphatically during the traditional jersey swap on the field. Alaric Jackson completed his own exchange, followed Chubb, and confronted him before throwing a blow that knocked Chubb’s hat off his head, as detailed by Fox Sports. Teammates from both squads rushed in to break up the confrontation before it escalated further.

Prior Legal Troubles and Pending League Discipline

Alaric Jackson faces potential league discipline from the NFL following the on-field punch, compounding an already complicated disciplinary background. That case was assigned to a prefiling diversion program designed to help him avoid criminal charges. In addition, a woman filed a civil lawsuit against Jackson in 2025 alleging he recorded sexual acts on his phone without her consent, a matter that led to a two-game suspension during the 2024 season for an undisclosed violation of the NFL personal conduct policy.

Contract Status and Roster Tenure With the Rams

Alaric Jackson is currently in his fourth season as the starting left tackle for the Rams. The Canadian-American dual citizen entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa and earned a Super Bowl ring as a reserve lineman in February 2022. Following his consistent play on the offensive line, the Rams signed Jackson to a three-year, $57 million contract extension in February 2025.
