An encounter between the Oakland Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7 was one of the ugliest of the season to date—which only got worse when Jaguars defensive back Jalen Ramsey got into a fight and both players wound up ejected.
Ramsey didn’t like the idea of his team being down 33-16 too much, so he and Johnny Holton had what amounts to a fight in the NFL:

Officials gave both players the boot, adding another eye-rolling element to an eye-rolling game.
Ramsey and his fellow defensive backs had every right to be frustrated. Before his ejection, the Jaguars defense had coughed up 23 catches for 200 yards and a score. Ramsey wasn’t the only one hitting the showers early, either:
Jalen Ramsey ejected for fighting. That's two #Jaguars ejections. One touchdown.

Ramsey has been rather outspoken to start his career and headlines what is an incredible rookie defensive class featuring other names such as Joey Bosa. Well on his way to being one of the best defenders in the league, Ramsey has become something of a lightning rod for bulletin-board material before and after games.
So after Sunday’s fight and ejection, Ramsey might provide his best quotes to date.
