CINCINNATI — Ja'Marr Chase is apologizing for spitting on Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey last week, an action that resulted in a one-game suspension for Cincinnati's star receiver.

"Please know I am speaking from my heart when I say I take full responsibility for my actions during last Sunday's game at Pittsburgh," Chase said in a statement posted to social media. "What I did was wrong. The circumstances don't matter. My passion for the game is no excuse. There's zero place in our sport — or in life — for that level of disrespect."

During last Sunday's broadcast, Chase and Ramsey could be seen going back and forth in the second half before Ramsey grabbed Chase's facemask and swung at him, resulting in his ejection.
