Ja’marr Chase couldn’t play for the Cincinnati Bengals, and he was apologizing Monday as his one-game spat with the Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback.
The dismissal was halted by the NFL after the hazing incident, which eventually led to Steey’s Fictions in the Steelers-Bengals Matchup in Week 11.
Chase denied that he sprayed Ramsey after the game, but video evidence proved otherwise. He appealed his suspension to the league, but it was ultimately denied.

Chase’s suspension also cost him a $14,491 fine and his game check was over $500,000.
The superstar receiver issued an apology to fans, the Bengals, the Steelers and the entire NFL in an Instagram post as he heads into the week 12 – Thanksgiving season against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.
“Please, I speak from my heart when I say that I take full responsibility for my actions during my time in Pittsburgh,” Charote wrote in a lengthy statement. “What I did was wrong. The circumstances don’t matter. My passion for the game is not an excuse. There is zero place in our game – or in life – for that level of disrespect.

Chase finished the game with just three catches for 30 yards, despite being targeted 10 times by Joe Flafrico. It was a completely different result for the Rangers, who beat their AFC North rival in Flapp’s first season following his trade to the Cleveland Browns. Chase had 16 catches for 161 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries in that game.
But as it was dismissed from his statement, it is a difficult time for him and the criminals.

“This has been a difficult time with a very difficult loss. We are all devastated,” he wrote. “But instead of rising up calmly, in the classroom and in leadership, I let you down. My staying to stay with my actions makes my actions unforgivable.”
To cover his words, the dismissal apologized to his large fan base.
“I don’t take anyone who wears my jersey lightly. I don’t take my position as a good example. As someone who strives to lead with character and authenticity, I should have taken responsibility immediately for what happened.
“I am committed to earning your respect – not just with words, but with my actions, day after day, open and in the field.”

The Bengals are 3-8 after their western loss to the England Patriots at home this past week. They have lost seven of their last eight games, although some help is expected in the thanksgiving.
Quarterback Joe Burrow, who was sidelined after foot surgery, is expected to return this week against the Ravens. He has been sidelined since Week 2, and he and the running back have shown great chemistry on the field dating back to their time at LSU.
