September 25, 2021 — Connor Banks vs. Jaxson Walls

One day before the Rams’ Week 3 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Connor Banks and Jaxson Walls got into a heated argument. Connor began yelling at Jaxson, Jaxson yelled back, and neither was willing to back down. The verbal confrontation escalated into a physical fight.

Jaxson ultimately won the fight, but both players came away visibly injured. Connor had a black eye; Jaxson had a bloody and broken nose.

Head coach Camden Ryder eventually broke up the fight. Furious with both players, he lit both of them up afterward and punished them by making them run laps.

Jaxson respected Connor for standing his ground and confronting him.

Connor never regretted the fight. Discussing it later, he said: “I would do it again”.
