Jalen Ramsey was traded from the Miami Dolphins<\/a> to the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> in June and has been one of the primary focal points of the Steelers’ defense through the first half of the NFL<\/a> season.<\/p>\n

A former No. 5 overall pick in 2016, Super Bowl champion, and seven-time Pro Bowler, Ramsey’s move to Pittsburgh was designed to bring veteran leadership and a championship pedigree to a roster built to contend immediately.<\/p>\n

While he\u2019s made his presence felt with a few game-changing plays, he\u2019s also had some lapses in judgment \u2014 none more evident than his costly moment in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n

Colts QB Daniel Jones completed a 16-yard pass to WR Michael Pittman Jr. on a crossing route late in the fourth quarter, with Ramsey making hard contact<\/a> immediately as Pittman turned his body, quickly drawing a 5-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness.<\/p>\n

Not only did the play cost Pittsburgh five yards, but Ramsey also received a hefty $17,389 fine from the NFL when disciplinary actions<\/a> were announced Saturday.<\/p>\n

It was one of the larger fines of the week, behind only Washington Commanders’ LB Frankie Luvu (hip-drop tackle, $100,000), Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman ($25,154, verbal abuse of an official), and Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones ($23,186, use of the helmet). <\/p>\n

Per league rules, a receiver is protected as \u2018defenseless\u2019 until he can shield himself from contact, and hits in that window typically draw automatic penalties and heavy fines, as made evident with Ramsey’s punishment.<\/p>\n

Penalties and fines of this nature can even be accompanied by suspensions when hits are judged egregious or repeat offenses.<\/p>\n

While the unnecessary roughness call didn\u2019t impact the outcome \u2014 the Steelers still pulled out a 27\u201320 win \u2014 it did come with a noticeable hit to Ramsey\u2019s paycheck.<\/p>\n

Next up for Ramsey and the Steelers is a matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sunday, followed by a home game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11 and at the Chicago Bears in Week 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jalen Ramsey was traded from the Miami Dolphins to the Pittsburgh Steelers in June and has been one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":270906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,1753,514,949,82],"class_list":["post-270905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-jalen-ramsey","tag-nfl","tag-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270905\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/270906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
