Frustrations were high for the Los Angeles Rams after a missed field goal attempt led to the Buffalo Bills getting an extra offensive possession in overtime and making a field goal of their own to steal a 37-34 win on "Monday Night Football" in Week 5. Following the contest, there appeared to be words exchanged by Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson and Bills edge Bradley Chubb. It's unclear exactly what was said between the two players.
Video of the incident appears to show Jackson punching Chubb. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Jackson is expected to be suspended for two games.

"But the NFL has not yet notified the team nor the NFLPA." The 2-3 Rams are set to play the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders in the next two weeks. Following the incident, Chubb said he "flushed" the punch and is ready to move on to Week 6. "Like I said, it was emotional game.
Tempers got flared," Chubb said, via ESPN.. 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 just know, you know what I'm saying, I'm just ready for next week." Chubb recorded two tackles on Monday night. With three losses through their first five games, the Rams are not where they want to be in the early season.
Jackson wasn't the only member of the team upset by the loss. Head coach Sean McVay said the team would look to make changes this week. On Tuesday, Los Angeles released kicker Harrison Mevis, who missed one field goal attempt and had another blocked (in overtime).
