INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- On the field after the Los Angeles Rams' 37-34 overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson punched Bills outside linebacker Bradley Chubb.
In a scene captured by ESPN's cameras, Jackson stood near midfield after the game while exchanging jerseys with Bills defensive lineman Deone Walker when it appeared Chubb said something to Jackson. Jackson then walked toward Chubb before punching him in the face with his right hand.
"It's just emotions, you know what I mean? Emotional game. It was a close game," Chubb told the California Post in Buffalo's locker room. "And, you know, they always catch the second guy. So, I let him swing. And then my teammates held me back, and I just chilled."
Jackson was pulled away by Rams tight end Colby Parkinson after the punch.
"Like I said, it was emotional game. Tempers got flared," Chubb said. "But it is what it is. We flushed it and we onto next week."
Chubb was still in full uniform at the time, while Jackson had removed his shoulder pads and jersey before walking up to Chubb.
"Somebody swung, but hey, that's not on me to tell who," Chubb said. "There's cameras out there. I just know, you know what I'm saying, I'm just ready for next week."
When asked if the punch connected, Chubb responded, "I'm just ready for next week. ... You see, I'm smiling, I'm with my team. ... I'll be ready for next week."
Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson weighed in on social media, writing on X, "So what we gone do about dude hitting Chub!"
Apart from Chubb and Gardner-Johnson's post, neither team addressed the incident.
The Bills will take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, and the Rams host the Arizona Cardinals.
