The Pittsburgh Steelers secondary was already stretched thin going into this week's game against the Cincinnati Bengals . So the last thing they needed was a self-inflicted loss on a boneheaded play. But this is just what they got when defensive back Jalen Ramsey got himself ejected for throwing a punch at Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase.
It was the second personal foul in as many plays for Ramsey and turned a defensive stop and a fourth down for Cincinnati and kept their drive alive. Now the Steelers are minus two starters in the secondary after Darius Slay was ruled out for this game with a concussion and forced Chuck Clark into the starting lineup.

Ramsey had been playing great football the last three weeks since moving to free safety and was having himself a strong game until the ejection. You could see him and Chase jawing back and forth after a play but Chase never swung on Ramsey, even after he hit him. This is in addition to the Steelers being minus quarterback Aaron Rodgers , who went out with a hand injury.
