"It was a spat - or a spit - between two All-Pro NFL players: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey. And it's going to cost Chase a half a million dollars unless the appeal he filed goes his way. Chase was caught on video spitting in Ramsey's direction during Cincinnati's lopsided loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday. Ramsey retaliated by throwing a punch at Chase and was ejected."
"Ramsey, a 10-year veteran who helped the Rams win Super Bowl LVI, responded violently and had to be restrained. "I'm always going to be all for trash talking ... stuff like that," Ramsey told reporters after the game. "I actually enjoy that part of the game. I think people know that. But as soon as he spit, it was like 'f- that.'""
Ja'Marr Chase was caught on video spitting in Jalen Ramsey's direction during Cincinnati's lopsided loss to Pittsburgh. The NFL suspended Chase for one game, costing him a week's pay plus an active-roster bonus totaling $507,156, and he has filed an appeal. Chase denied spitting and referee Bill Vinovich said officials did not see anything at that level, but video showed mid-air saliva. Ramsey retaliated by throwing a punch, was ejected and restrained, and said the spit crossed a line despite accepting trash talk. Chase has prior unsportsmanlike-conduct incidents involving mouthpiece grabs and fines.
