Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin did not call for details with reporters on Tuesday about his thoughts on Jalen Ramsey’s ejection from the Cincinnati Bengals. However, he gave a firm statement as to how one should respond to such a situation.
Ramsey was sent off in the fourth quarter of the AFC North MatchUp after he was seen grabbing a facemask and chasing him and stabbing him. A feud between the two stars developed, and after the game, Ramsey allegedly spat at him, prompting him to get physical.

“I was coming. I was able to talk to Jalen in-game – It’s a bad incident. It’s not a normal action in a football game,” Tomlin said. “Again, I’m not going to comment on it. The NFL front office has given their judgment on it so we’re moving on.”
When pressed later about texting Ramsey, Tomlin didn’t offer much. But he made his stance on Ramsey’s reaction to the glittering episode clear.
“I have no message when someone cries in your face. Do what comes naturally.”
