PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Right after the game Ja’Marr Chase said he didn’t spit on anybody. With indisputable video proof that he did, that lie, and that action, will cost him a game. NFL has suspended the Bengals receiver for one game.
The play happened early in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game at Acrisure Stadium, Chase and Steelers safety Jalen Ramsey were going after each other for a second straight play. As the altercation continued to heat up, Chase spit on Ramsey. That’s when the Steelers safety threw a punch at Chase and was ejected from the game.
After a career-high 16 receptions in the first matchup against the Steelers, Chase was held to three receptions for 30 yards on Sunday.
The 25-year-old Chase is leading the NFL with 79 catches this season, that goes with 861 yards and five touchdowns. Bengals host the AFC East leading Patriots Sunday at 1p and then he will be cleared to return for the Thanksgiving game at Baltimore.
