Ex-Rams Kicker Harrison Mevis Draws Fresh Heat After Release

Under scrutiny both on and off the field, former Rams kicker Harrison Mevis faces social media backlash after being released for performance issues.

Harrison Mevis’ brief run with the Los Angeles Rams ended in costly fashion, and now his Instagram activity is drawing even more attention.

The former Missouri kicker was cut after the Rams decided they’d seen enough. Mevis missed a 50-yard field goal in the first quarter of Monday’s 37-34 loss to the Bills, then had his 48-yard overtime attempt blocked by Buffalo’s Greg Rousseau in a moment Sean McVay did not sugarcoat.

“It cost us the game tonight,” head coach Sean McVay told reporters.

From there, the spotlight moved off the field and onto Mevis’ social media. His Instagram likes and follows became a talking point soon after, with one X account calling him a “g**ner.”

Dov Kleiman then posted screenshots this week that he said showed Mevis liking posts from high school seniors. Kleiman also claimed Mevis had been trying to hide that activity by removing likes.

“Oh Boy: Former Rams kicker Harrison Mevis has been exposed for trying to cover his tracks by unliking hundreds of posts of high school girls. Almost all of Harrison’s Instagram likes are disappearing at an alarming pace.

The Mevis files never end 😳,” Kleiman wrote.

Those are Kleiman’s claims, not confirmed findings. The screenshots he shared show a “Liked by hmevis_6 and others” line under posts from other accounts.

He made a similar accusation in an earlier post as well, writing: “Yikes: Former Rams kicker Harrison Mevis has been exposed for liking ANOTHER high school senior’s Instagram account. The Mevis files keep getting worse 🫣,” Kleiman wrote.

Instagram likes can disappear for a number of reasons, including deleted posts and privacy changes.

On the field, Mevis finished the season 5 of 9 on field goals, which ranks dead last in the NFL. He was perfect on extra points, going 14 for 14.

Rams MNF Stage Became Backdrop For Rare ESPN Booth Tension

The Monday Night Football stage at SoFi Stadium was supposed to belong to the Rams and their matchup, but it briefly served as the setting for an awkward bit of ESPN drama before kickoff. According to Front Office Sports, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman got into a dispute in the booth, with the tension tied to their different contract situations after Buck had agreed to a new deal while Aikman had not yet received a formal offer.

The disagreement reportedly cooled before the game began, and the networks lead broadcast pair went on to call the night without any visible carryover on air. For the Rams, it was the kind of behind-the-scenes wrinkle that did not affect the action on the field, but still added an unusual layer to a primetime window already carrying plenty of attention.

Alaric Jackson Controversy Just Took Another Turn After Chubb Spoke Out

The Rams Week 5 clash with Buffalo has kept circling back to the same ugly moment, and now the conversation has shifted again after Bradley Chubb publicly laid out his side of the exchange with Alaric Jackson. What began as ordinary post-play jawing escalated into a confrontation on the field, then into league discipline when Jackson was initially suspended for two games before that punishment was reduced to one on appeal.

Chubbs account added another layer to the dispute by denying that he brought Jacksons family into the trash talk, while also describing the back-and-forth that led up to the punch. For Los Angeles, the details matter less than the fact that one of its starting tackles is still linked to a headline-grabbing incident that has not fully faded, even as the leagues final word on the matter has already been delivered.

Alaric Jackson Fallout Takes A New Turn After Chubb Speaks Out

The fallout from the Rams-Bills matchup in Week 5 has continued to linger well beyond the final whistle, with Alaric Jackson still at the center of it after a sideline exchange with Bradley Chubb escalated into a punch.

Bradley Chubb then added a new layer by publicly laying out his version of what happened, pushing back on the idea that he crossed a line by bringing up Jacksons family. His clarification didnt erase the tension from the moment, but it did sharpen the focus on how quickly a trash-talking sequence turned into a league matter for a Rams lineman trying to move past it.
