Sean McVay on Alaric Jackson: "He has to consistently do a better job"
NBC Sports • • general
Key Points:
- Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson was suspended for two games by the NFL after sucker punching Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb during a postgame altercation.
- Rams coach Sean McVay emphasized the importance of Jackson representing the team's values and noted Jackson must make better decisions to avoid future suspensions.
- McVay confirmed that David Quesenberry will replace Jackson during his suspension and mentioned Jackson is expected to appeal the league's decision.
- The incident occurred after the game had ended, with Jackson removing his pads and returning to the field, raising questions about potential legal consequences under California's "fighting words" law.
- Some commentators argue Jackson should face battery charges, as the video evidence clearly shows a deliberate and unprovoked punch, which would typically result in legal action outside of the sports context.
