All NFL players are now warned that spitting on an opponent will lead to a one-game suspension, as demonstrated by Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase’s upheld punishment for spitting on Steelers safety Jalen Ramsey, resulting in his absence for the Week 12 game against the Patriots and a loss of $448,333 in salary, marking the league’s first suspension for this offense. This decision emphasizes the league’s new stance on on-field misconduct, making spitting the costliest infraction in NFL history.
