The league fined Steelers defensive end safety Jalen Ramsey $14,491 for retaliating to Chase spitting on him.

Chase was suspended for one game, a penalty that cost him more than $520,000 in salary.

Sunday marked the second game in a row in which the league fined Ramsey.

Ramsey received a $17,389 fine for a hit on a defenseless player (Michael Pittman Jr.) in Pittsburgh’s Week 9 win against the Colts.

He has been fined 11 times in his career for ($144,741).

Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt was not fined for his roughing the passer penalty against Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco.

Flacco sounded as though he didn’t have an issue with the Watt’s hit that resulted in both a penalty and fine.

“That’s football,” Flacco said. “He did a good job. He buried me in the turf.”
