The official suspension statement read, in part: "After the game, as players were shaking hands and exchanging jerseys, Jackson struck Buffalo linebacker Bradley Chubb in the face after a brief confrontation, violating Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, which applies to "any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship." Chubb, to his credit, took the higher road and kept his composure, letting Buffalo teammates pull him back, and allowed Jackson to bury himself on national television.
