Cameras catch Rams-Bills fight as fists fly behind MNF set and action demanded

Repercussions from a seismic Monday Night Football may not be truly felt until the end of the NFL season – but one Los Angeles Rams player will be waiting anxiously this week. The Rams were beaten in a back-and-forth overtime thriller at SoFi Stadium, as the Buffalo Bills kicked the winning field goal in overtime for a 37-34 win.

ESPN cameras were rolling for the postgame show, and with Bills quarterback Josh Allen being interviewed on one side of the shot, Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb amd Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson appeared to get into it on the other. Chubb had approached Jackson, who was talking with Bills’ Deone Walker and exchanging jerseys with the lineman, but Jackson seemed to take immediate issue with what Chubb said. Footage shows Jackson aiming a punch at Chubb before players from both teams piled in to separate the duo, Rams tight end Colby Parkinson eventually pulling Jackson away. For many the game was a teaser and what could be on February 14, back at SoFi, and Super Bowl LXI but the immediate concerns for Jackson will be any action from the NFL that could include a suspension. Chubb played down the incident after the game. “It’s just emotions, you know what I mean? Emotional game. It was a close game,” Chubb said in the Bills locker room, per the California Post. “You know, they always catch the second guy. So, I let him swing and then my teammates held me back, and I just chilled. “Like I said, it was emotional game. Tempers got flared, but it is what it is. We flushed it and we onto next week. “Somebody swung, but hey, that’s not on me to tell who. There’s cameras out there. I’m just ready for next week.” Super Bowl champion Jason McCourty took to social media to suggest it might be more than a fine for Jackson – on a weekend that also saw a sideline fight in Seattle as the 49ers and Seahawks got into it. “Wonder what the consequences of this will be? Suspension potentially coming I would think,” McCourty posted. There was also a fight in London, as Jeremiah Trotter Jnr and Brian Thomas Jnr were ejected just seconds into Jacksonville’s dramatic win over a treading water Philadelphia Eagles. It promises to be a busy week for the NFL’s disciplinary office. Slow start for Super Bowl hopefuls While both teams have Super Bowl ambitions it is the Bills who find themselves in better shape after five weeks, improving to 4-1 for the season. Josh Allen threw for 210 yards and a touchdown, but ran for 121 more yards, and an NFL leading eighth rushing score of the season. For all the preseason talk of the Rams as the NFL ‘s latest super team, it’s been a less than convincing start for Sean McVay ‘s crew. Wins over the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants are their only victories so far this season, with defeats coming against rival Super Bowl contenders. Having started the year losing to NFC West rivals San Francisco in Australia, they have also been beaten by Denver Broncos and now the Bills. The schedule softens a little moving forward with the one win Arizona Cardinals up next, before the Las Vegas Raiders, the winless Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders follow. With a trip to Arizona in Week 10, before the bye, and the Rams will hope to stack the wins they need to get them above .500 in a brutal division.
