Rams Make Huge Special Teams Changes Following 'Monday Night Football' Disaster
The Los Angeles Rams are reportedly making changes to their specials teams unit after the Week 5 "Monday Night Football" disaster.
The NFL is expected to suspend Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson for two games following a postgame altercation with Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb, according to multiple reports. The incident occurred on Monday Night Football after the Bills' 37-34 overtime victory at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles. Jackson and a Bills player were exchanging jerseys when Chubb made a remark and pointed at Jackson from a distance.
Chubb walked away after his comment, but Jackson pursued him and exchanged words. Jackson then punched Chubb in the face, which was recorded by ESPN cameras during postgame coverage. The suspension leaves the Rams without a crucial player during a critical period of their season. The team, previously favored to win the Super Bowl, is now 2-3 following the loss and will miss the next two games, including a matchup against the Arizona Cardinals and the Las Vegas Raiders.
Backup David Quessenberry is a possible replacement for Jackson, who would miss the Raiders game where the Rams would face five-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Maxx Crosby.
