• The NFL has reduced Alaric Jackson’s suspension to one game after the Rams left tackle punched Bills edge rusher Bradley Chubb in a postgame altercation.
  • The original punishment was two games.
  • On appeal, hearing officer Derrick Brooks cut it in half.
  • Jackson’s punishment was reduced, yet the case still turns on where the NFL draws the line between provocation and retaliation — and whether a one-game ban makes that line any clearer.
