    Jalen Ramsey wasn't lying.

    Steelers star Jalen Ramsey isn't a liar. 

    Video has emerged showing that Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase did spit at Ramsey during Sunday's AFC North battle. 

    Ramsey punched Chase and was ejected. The NFL will have access to this video and will likely punish Chase, who lied to reporters. 

    In the pool report, referee Bill Vinovich said the game officials did not see Chase spit on Ramsey.

    "No. Obviously, we did not," he said. "We did not see anything that rose to that level at all."

    Ramsey and Chase were both flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct on third-and-1 a play earlier when Ramsey said Chase tried to crackback block him. The two had been going back and forth all game before the spit. 

    "We had just talked to the refs," Ramsey said. "I ain't going to do something again to get myself kicked out of the game. The refs had just told us a play before. If you just use your common sense, you'll know, hey he wasn't just doing it again for no reason. You know what I mean?"

    After the first unsportsmanlike penalties, Ramsey and Chase continued to jaw at each other as the Bengals took a timeout before running their fourth-and-1 play. Once Chase spit at Ramsey, the Steelers star threw the punch and was promptly ejected for his second unsportsmanlike penalty in as many snaps.

    Ramsey was escorted off the field by a Steelers staffer. Offensive lineman Broderick Jones tried to calm Ramsey down before the defensive back entered the locker room.

    The ejection came shortly after Ramsey shifted back to slot corner since Brandin Echols was dealing with an injury. 

    Before Sunday, Ramsey had only been ejected one previous time in his career in 2017 when he was with the Jaguars. Ramsey was facing the Bengals that day, too. 

    The Steelers are 6-4 on the season. They are in first place in the AFC North.
