Overview
- Field-level footage posted by FOX19 appears to show Ja'Marr Chase spitting at Jalen Ramsey moments before Ramsey threw a punch.
- Ramsey was ejected early in the fourth quarter for punching after offsetting unsportsmanlike penalties were assessed on the previous snap.
- Chase denied spitting in postgame comments, while Ramsey told reporters he retaliated because he was spat on.
- An NFL spokesman said the league has opened a review, with potential discipline for both players under consideration.
- Recent precedent for spitting (Jalen Carter’s one-game punishment) has analysts projecting a likely suspension for Chase that could affect Week 12, as Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati 34-12.
