Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson has been suspended for two games for striking Buffalo Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb in the face after Monday's overtime game.

Rams starting left tackle Alaric Jackson has been suspended for two games without pay for striking Buffalo Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb in the face after their teams' overtime game Monday night. The NFL announced the suspension on Tuesday. Jackson will miss Los Angeles' games against Arizona and Las Vegas, pending a potential appeal. The league said Jackson's blow was 'an act of unsportsmanlike conduct'.

Jackson struck Chubb after the two exchanged words following the Bills' 37-34 overtime victory over the Rams at SoFi Stadium. Jackson was doing a jersey swap with another Bills player when Chubb had words with him and walked away. Jackson followed and confronted Chubb before throwing a strike that knocked Chubb's hat off his head. Teammates quickly separated the two.

Jackson has faced other disciplinary issues. He was arrested in June on suspicion of felony domestic violence after a confrontation with a woman at his home in the San Fernando Valley. His case was assigned for a prefiling diversion that likely allows him to avoid criminal charges, though the NFL has yet to announce a decision on possible league discipline. He was also sued by a woman who alleged he recorded sexual acts with her on his phone without her consent. That incident led to Jackson being suspended for the first two games of the 2024 season.
