The fallout from the Los Angeles Rams’ loss to the Buffalo Bills continued when offensive lineman Alaric Jackson was suspended for hitting an opponent, while kicker Harrison Mevis was released. Jackson received a two-game suspension from the NFL after he hit Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb following Monday’s 37-34 overtime loss. Chubb was talking to players from both teams near midfield when Jackson approached him and punched him in the jaw. “It’s just emotions, you know what I mean? Emotional game, it was a close game,” Chubb said. Jackson will now miss the Rams’ next two games against the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders. Meanwhile, the Rams have decided to release Mevis and sign fellow kicker Blake Grupe from the New York Jets’ practice squad. Mevis missed a field goal in regulation and had another attempt blocked in overtime against the Bills, which Rams head coach Sean McVay said “cost us the game.” “The kicking game, especially with our PAT, field goal, is not even close to being good enough,” McVay said. attempts, including just one of his last four in the last two games. Grupe, 27, has converted 81.9% of his field goals and 98% of his extra point attempts in 50 NFL games with the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts.
