Despite video to the contrary, Chase is doubling down with that story.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL announced a one-game suspension for Chase for his Week 11 spitting incident. The Bengals wide receiver is appealing the suspension.<\/p>\n<p>NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport presented the wideout\u2019s core appeal argument Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis argument essentially being, as far as I understand, if he was going to spit on Jalen Ramsey, he wouldn\u2019t spit on his face rather than on the floor or on his jersey,\u201d said Rapoport on NFL Gameday.<\/p>\n<p>Predictably, Chase is receiving significant criticism for that appeal argument.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood luck making a convincing case out of that,\u201d wrote Steelers \u00a0Depot\u2019s Alex Kozora.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith such clear video evidence of Chase spitting on Ramsey, there\u2019s little argument he can make. Chase clearly spat on Ramsey\u2019s jersey, and not even down closer to the ground, where he could try to make the argument that it was inadvertent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe then lied about doing so and is apparently sticking to the story even as his head coach acknowledged his receiver\u2019s mistake, though still defended him broadly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former NFL wide receiver Jordy Nelson will be the appeals officer in Chase\u2019s case. Regardless of the appeals officer, though, Chase successfully appealing his one-game suspension is unlikely.<\/p>\n<p>The video Kozora reference, which Fox 19 sports photographer Austin Briski posted on X, shows Chase spitting on Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey during the fourth quarter of Sunday\u2019s matchup. In response, Ramsey punched Chase.<\/p>\n<p>The officials ejected Ramsey for the punch. Chase received a 15-yard penalty for his role in the altercation, but no penalty for spitting on Ramsey.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja&#8217;Marr Chase is receiving criticism for his suspension appeal after he spit on Pittsburgh Steelers&#8217;
