Cam Heyward can’t control what the officials do or don’t call. But Heyward can control his response. And he understands why Pittsburgh Steelers CB Jalen Ramsey got so heated to punch Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase that got him kicked out of Sunday’s game.
“Two competitors, but one guy took it too far,” Heyward told reporters via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,” referring to Ramsey and Chase. “Our guy got penalized, but if you wanna spit on a guy, you don’t belong in the game.”
Ramsey and Chase sparred all day and went at it on the play before the spit/punch incident, leading both to receive offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
