Ja'Marr Chase: I was out of character, there are limits to what you'll allow

Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase publicly apologized for spitting on Steelers safety Jalen Ramsey during a Week 11 game. The incident, which led to Ramsey's ejection for punching Chase, was addressed by Chase in a press conference where he admitted to being "out of control, out of character" during the altercation. Chase, who served a one-game suspension for the incident, emphasized that while opponents often attempt to provoke him, he believes certain boundaries were crossed in this particular encounter. Chase stated he is not worried about any negative perceptions stemming from the suspension, asserting his focus remains on maintaining his identity as a player. Meanwhile, quarterback Joe Burrow is set to return to the lineup against the Ravens on Thanksgiving, with hopes that the focus will shift back to the on-field chemistry between Burrow and Chase.
