"Chase spat on Ramsey during a confrontation in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. Ramsey grabbed Chase by the facemask and punched him in retaliation, which resulted in Ramsey's ejection. Officials, who said after the game they did not see Ramsey spitting, took no action against the receiver at the time. The NFL said Chase was disciplined under a rule that applies to any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship."
"It's like we are trying to make something out of this situation. It's the only thing that's kind of upset me as I'm sitting in here, Taylor said. For a guy that has done everything we can to build our organization around, he's been awesome. Not perfect. I'm not perfect. Trust me, I made plenty of mistakes yesterday [that] people don't see on camera. Unfortunately his was. He's going to have to own up for that. That will be part of his journey."
Ja'Marr Chase has been suspended without pay for one game for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey during a fourth-quarter confrontation. Ramsey grabbed Chase by the facemask and punched him in retaliation, resulting in Ramsey's ejection. Officials initially said they did not see Ramsey spitting and took no action against Chase during the game. The NFL disciplined Chase under a sportsmanship rule. Chase denied spitting after the game, but a Cincinnati television station had video of the incident. Chase will miss the Bengals' home game against New England and has a right to appeal. The suspension will dock at least $448,333,33 from Chase's base salary. The Bengals are 3-7 and have lost three straight games.
