After an altercation with Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Alaric Jackson on Monday, Buffalo Bills edge rusher Bradley Chubb broke down the incident from his perspective.
Chubb dispelled rumors that he discussed Jackson's mom and said he was instead keeping his trash talk about the game.
"I'll tell you exactly what I said," Chubb told reporters Wednesday. "I've heard I was talking about his mom. That's not true at all. I said, 'We're gonna see y'all's ass again. And when we see you again, all that chipping ain't gonna save you. That tight end and guard is not going to save you.' He said, 'What'd you say?' I said, 'That chip's not gonna save you. The guard's not gonna save you.' And then boom."
Chubb and Jackson exchanged words after the game and Jackson struck Chubb in the face. He was initially suspended for two games, but the suspension was later reduced to just one game.
The Rams will be without Jackson for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Chubb said that he started the conversation with Jackson and was upset by the Rams' demeanor when it seemed like they had the game in the bag. Specifically, Chubb said he felt Los Angeles was "front-running."
The Rams had the ball in field goal position in overtime after Buffalo fumbled on its opening drive, but the Bills blocked Harrison Mevis' game-winning field goal attempt.
Led by the legs of quarterback Josh Allen, Buffalo marched down the field to make a field goal to seal the overtime victory, 37-34. Chubb logged two tackles in the win.
"It was an emotional game. Tempers got flared," Chubb told reporters after the game. "But it is what it is. We flushed it and we onto next week."
While Chubb acknowledges that he started the incident, he also said that he was proud of the way he responded, not punching back and potentially risking a suspension of his own.
Still, it was a learning moment for Chubb and his teammates.
"We're going to learn from it," Chubb said. "Me personally, I learned I'm either going to have my hands up or wear a helmet."
