Overview
- Cincinnati’s leading receiver is slated to miss Week 12 against New England unless an appeal overturns the suspension.
- The incident occurred early in the fourth quarter, when Jalen Ramsey punched Chase and was ejected after offsetting unsportsmanlike penalties.
- Referee Bill Vinovich said the crew did not observe a spit live, while postgame FOX19 footage showed Chase spitting toward Ramsey.
- The decision follows the Jalen Carter case from Week 1, when an in-game ejection for spitting was treated as a one-game suspension.
- Head coach Zac Taylor called Chase’s behavior unacceptable, and potential fines or additional review for Ramsey remain possible.
