Steelers' Jalen Ramsey ejected for punching Ja’Marr Chase during timeout; Chase set records despite incident.

Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey was ejected in a Week 11 game against the Bengals after punching wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase during a timeout, following both players being flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. The incident occurred amid a tough stretch for Pittsburgh’s defense, already missing injured cornerback Brandin Echols. Ramsey, playing in a safety role, was replaced by Chuck Clark. Despite the altercation, Chase had a record-setting performance, recording 16 receptions, 161 yards, and a touchdown, becoming the fastest player in NFL history to reach 6,000 career receiving yards. He also captured the receiving triple crown this season and earned a Pro Bowl nod. The confrontation heightened the intensity of the Steelers-Bengals rivalry, with Ramsey’s past history of physical play drawing renewed scrutiny.
