'I Take Full Responsibility' | Ja'Marr Chase Apologizes to Bengals, Steelers and Fans After Suspension

Ja'Marr Chase accepted full responsibility for spitting during a game, resulting in suspension and a $448,333 pay dock, emphasizing passion is no excuse for disrespect.

  • On Nov. 16, Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase spat at Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey during Cincinnati's loss in Pittsburgh, leading to Ramsey's ejection.
  • Chase said his passion and emotions got the better of him and that passion is no excuse, acknowledging he failed his own leadership standards and does not take being a role model lightly.
  • The league suspended Chase for one game, and the NFL Players Association shows he was docked at least $448,333 in base salary due to the suspension.
  • Cincinnati lost 26-20 to New England and did not have its top two receivers on the field for the final series; the Bengals have dropped eight of nine and expect Joe Burrow to return after nine games.
  • Looking toward the rest of the season, Chase, fourth in the league with 79 receptions, pledges to earn back respect from the Bengals and the NFL community.
