"Chase will miss his team's upcoming game against the New England Patriots following the incident that occurred in Cincinnati's 34-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Video from Cincinnati's WXIX-TV showed Chase clearly spitting in Ramsey's direction, which prompted Ramsey to throw a punch at Chase. This is the second time this season that a player has been suspended for spitting on an opponent."
"However, Chase finished the game against the Steelers. At the time, officials did not spot Chase's actions before ejecting Ramsey for the thrown punch. "We did not see anything that rose to that level at all," referee Bill Vinovich said in a pool report after the game. Chase also denied spitting on Ramsey. The two had been in a scuffle earlier in the contest, which prompted offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on both players."
Ja'Marr Chase was suspended one game without pay for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Chase will miss the Bengals' upcoming game against the New England Patriots. Video from WXIX-TV showed Chase spitting in Ramsey's direction, which prompted Ramsey to throw a punch. Chase was not ejected and finished the game, while officials initially ejected Ramsey for the punch because they did not see the spitting. Referee Bill Vinovich said officials did not see anything that rose to that level. Chase denied spitting on Ramsey. The two had been in a scuffle earlier that led to offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. This is the second spitting suspension of the season, following Jalen Carter's Week 1 incident.
