Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey says he was spit on by wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase before he threw a punch that led to his being ejected from Sunday's AFC North matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Ramsey was ejected from Sunday's 34-12 win over Cincinnati after getting into post-whistle altercations with Chase on back-to-back plays in the second half.

During the first incident, both players were flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Ramsey said after the game that the two players were going at it when Chase slapped his mouthpiece off of his facemask and then he grabbed Chase's facemask.

"The refs told us right after that to chill," Ramsey said.
