CB Jalen Ramsey had a handful of impact moments in his Steelers debut, particularly closing out the game with a thunderous pass breakup against Garrett Wilson. But he also helped close out the first half, partly by design, or so it seems. With the Jets approaching midfield and the clock ticking, Ramsey slammed into QB Justin Fields with force.
Fields’ offensive line took umbrage to Ramsey’s physical play, even though it was a clean hit. And he knew it was a clean hit—and he knew that Fields’ teammates would react. “They didn’t like my aggression, but that’s football”, he told reporters after the game, via NJ.
