"In a statement released on Instagram, Chase said he took "full responsibilities" for his actions in the team's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 16. Chase was suspended without pay for one game after the NFL concluded that he spit on Ramsey during a heated exchange in the Week 12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The incident was not seen by officials during the game but was cited by Ramsey as the cause for the punches and altercation which led to his ejection."
""What I did was wrong," Chase said. "The circumstances don't matter. My passion for the game is no excuse. There's zero place in our sport -- or in life -- for that level of disrespect." Chase did not specifically mention Ramsey by name but did reference the Steelers as a franchise. "I want to personally apologize to everyone within the Pittsburgh Steelers organization," Chase said."
