Steelers’ Jalen Ramsey Ejected for Punching Ja’Marr Chase

The ejection will draw league review, potentially affecting Pittsburgh’s thin secondary.

Overview

  • Ramsey was tossed early in the fourth quarter after throwing a punch at Chase moments after both were flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
  • His disqualification awarded Cincinnati a free first down on fourth-and-1, and the ensuing drive ended in a Bengals field goal.
  • The incident occurred with a little more than 12 minutes remaining, and Pittsburgh went on to win 34-12 at Acrisure Stadium.
  • Ramsey had shifted from safety to slot corner due to Brandin Echols’ injury, with Chuck Clark taking safety snaps and D’Shawn Jamison stepping in as depth while Darius Slay remained out in the concussion protocol.
  • The NFL routinely reviews punches for discipline, and recent precedent points to a potential fine or short suspension.
