The Pittsburgh Steelers got back in the win column in dominant, revenge-fueled fashion on Sunday, dismantling the Cincinnati Bengals 34–12 and essentially ending Cincinnati’s postseason hopes as they fell to 3–7.
In true AFC North fashion, the fourth quarter got chippy. Ja’Marr Chase and Jalen Ramsey exchanged words and drew offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, but on the next play, Ramsey threw a punch at Chase and was immediately ejected. After the game, Ramsey said he reacted that way because Chase spit on him, which is completely unacceptable and, based on the video evidence, explains Ramsey’s response.
