- Chase intends to appeal the one-game ban and stands to forfeit about $507,000 if the suspension is upheld, according to NFL Network reporting.
- Ramsey punched Chase during the confrontation and was ejected on Sunday, while officials did not flag the spitting during the game.
- Bengals head coach Zac Taylor called the action a clear crossing of the line and said Chase should take responsibility, while also praising the player's overall character.
- This is the second spitting-related episode reported this season after an earlier incident involving Eagles lineman Jalen Carter and Dak Prescott, prompting comparisons over consistency in discipline.
