The night ended with Buffalo celebrating, but the final flashpoint belonged to Alaric Jackson and Bradley Chubb.
After the Bills’ 37-34 overtime win over the Rams in the final game of Week 5, the postgame scene at SoFi Stadium turned chaotic when Jackson and Chubb got into a heated exchange that quickly escalated. The two approached words, then Jackson moved in face-to-face and threw a quick right hand to the head.
Teammates stepped in right away and pulled the situation apart before it could get any worse. A separate video from the California Post showed Jackson heading back toward the locker room afterward, while Chubb tried to keep the confrontation going. That’s when Rams superstar Myles Garrett jumped in, and cooler heads finally took over.
Chubb later addressed the moment and explained his approach: “They always catch the second guy, so I let him swing and my teammates held me back and I just chilled.”
Jackson now figures to hear from the league. The NFL is reviewing the incident, and a fine and possible suspension are expected. That scrutiny comes with added weight, too, considering Jackson was already in hot water after a June arrest for suspicion of felony domestic violence and had previously served a two-game suspension in 2024 for violating the NFL personal conduct policy.
For all the postgame noise, Buffalo had the final word on the field. Josh Allen helped push the Bills through in overtime, and the special teams chaos helped fuel the 37-34 finish. Buffalo heads next to face the Las Vegas Raiders, while the Rams try to reset in Week 6 at home against the Arizona Cardinals.

UCLA Puts Its Perfect Start To The Test Against Wisconsin
UCLA arrives at the Rose Bowl carrying real momentum, with a 5-0 start and a No. 12 national ranking after knocking off Oregon. For Wisconsin, this is the kind of early-season measuring-stick game that can say plenty about where the Badgers stand, even after opening 4-1 and putting themselves in position for a meaningful October road test.
The matchup also puts a spotlight on how Wisconsin handles a Bruin offense that has leaned on Wayne Knight and a running game that has been hard to slow. The betting market appears to favor UCLA to keep rolling, but the Badgers have enough on the board already to make this a useful indicator of whether they can hang with a team that has looked the part of a top-15 contender so far.

Wisconsins Fast Start Has Fans Debating Whos Delivering And Who Isnt
Wisconsins 4-1 start and 2-0 mark in conference play have done more than boost the mood around Camp Randall. They have also sharpened the conversation about which players have helped drive the early success and which ones still have room to come around as the season settles in. Through five games, the Badgers have seen some clearly positive surprises emerge from roles that were not always expected to produce this much so soon.
Jacob Harris, Gavin Lahm and Sebastian Cheeks have stood out as players outperforming expectations, while PJ Wilkins, Justus Boone and Abu Sama III have not quite matched the level Wisconsin has needed from them yet. Those kinds of early-season judgments are never final, especially this early in the year, but they do matter for a team trying to keep building on a strong start and sort out where the biggest gains still have to come from.

Coming out of the bye week, Joseph also pointed to the work the offense put in during the break, with the offensive line spending time preparing for the challenge ahead.

UCLAs defense will demand clean football, and ball security came up as a major point of emphasis in his media availability. With family support in the stands and a familiar backdrop for him personally, Joseph enters the game with more than just a conference matchup on his mind. [Read more 🡒]
