Bradley Chubb's detailed version of Alaric Jackson punch incident paints Rams lineman as a hothead
Alaric Jackson's fateful punch of Bradley Chubb, which has been in the news cycle for multiple days, finally received a firsthand explanation from the man on the receiving end of the blow.
On the same day the NFL reduced Jackson's suspension from two games to one, Chubb gave reporters a moment-by-moment account of what happened.
And, frankly, Chubb's account paints Jackson as overreacting, if the Buffalo Bills linebacker is to be believed.

Chubb said both he and Jackson were "talking junk" to each other and admitted he carries some blame.
"I'm not going to say to y'all I don't have any fault in the situation," Chubb admitted.
"I'll tell you exactly what I said.
I heard I've been talking about his mom and different things.
That's not true at all." RAMS TACKLE ALARIC JACKSON WINS APPEAL, WILL MISS JUST ONE GAME FOR PUNCHING BILLS' BRADLEY CHUBB So what's Chubb's truth? "I went up to him, I said, 'Hey, we're gonna see y'all [butt] again,'" Chubb said, "and when we see y'all again, that chip ain't going to save you.
That tight end, that guard is not going to save you.
That's what I said." So, let's understand the footballspeak here: Chubb claims he warned Jackson that the next time they meet, presumably in the Super Bowl , the Rams tackle won't be helped by Los Angeles running backs chipping Chubb or tight ends and guards helping with double-teams.
"And then he said, 'What you say?'" Chubb added.
Jackson approached Chubb and got closer.
"People said I put my hand in his face," Chubb continued, now backing away from the huddle of reporters to demonstrate how he started counting off things that wouldn't help block him next time.
