After the Bills beat the Rams in overtime on October 12, 2026, Buffalo's Alerick Jackson punched Rams lineman Bradley Chubb in the face on the field. Video of the postgame scuffle exists, and a suspension followed. Appeal officer Derrick Brooks reduced it from two games to one, costing about $2 million. Chubb has since said he told his defense he needs commotion and teammates to have his back. The discussion now centers on the reduced penalty and on what Chubb's remarks say about the confrontation.
