The altercation after the game between the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills will be an expensive one. The NFL has announced fines and punishments for both Alaric Jackson and Bradley Chubb.
The NFL announced that Chubb will be fined $14,239 for taunting despite him not retaliating after getting punched by Rams’ left tackle Alaric Jackson. It might seem unfair, though Chubb himself admitted to be the one to start the interaction.
The Bills won a barnburner in overtime against the Rams, ending 37-34. It was a very heated game and after it all ended, then the altercation happened as other players were greeting each other.
Jackson’s fine is even bigger
While Chubb just taunted, Jackson did throw and connect a punch on Chubb. Jackson was suspended two games for his actions, though it was reduced to just one after an appeal. Still, missing that game alone will cost Jackson a whooping $934,555.

Hence, not only will he lose basically a million dollars, but the Rams will have to use another left tackle in Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals. Someone else, probably David Quessenberry, will have to protect Matthew Stafford‘s blind side.
Bills vs Rams also left other fines
Following the league’s review of recent game actions, the NFL handed out financial penalties to multiple players. Buffalo Bills running back James Cook was hit with a $21,167 fine for the illegal use of his helmet.
Additionally, Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson received an $11,194 penalty for unnecessary roughness, while Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Braden Fiske was fined $11,941 for a facemask violation.
