NFL may have second spitting incident this season with Jalen Ramsey-Ja'Marr Chase scuffle

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey has revealed why he blew a fuse in Sunday's home game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, Ramsey punched Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase during a scuffle and was ejected. Following Pittsburgh's 34-12 win over Cincinnati, the DB said he did so because the WR spat on him. The Bengals star denied that. "I never opened my mouth to that guy," Chase said, via Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. "I didn't spit on nobody." Video, however, shows otherwise. In an X clip posted by Austin Briski of WXIX-TV in Cincinnati, the WR appeared to spit on the DB before he threw the punch. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the league will review the incident before determining a punishment. Surprisingly, this isn't the first spitting incident this season.
