Steelers DB Damontae Kazee Ejected After Violent Hit

Pittsburgh — After hitting Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. with an unnecessary roughness call, Pittsburgh Steelers safety Damontae Kazee was ejected from the team’s Week 15 game.

Gardner Minshew was about to pass, and Kazee bolted toward Pittman. A violent collision occurred in the air as a result of Kazee lowering his shoulder and diving straight at Pittman.

Flags started flying in as soon as Pittman stayed on the ground. Instead of reviewing the play, the referees quickly ejected Kazee from the game. Pittman was able to move away on his own a short while later and proceeded to the locker room to get checked out for a possible head injury.

The Steelers will be reduced to Minkah Fitzpatrick at safety, Trenton Thompson, and Miles Killebrew in Kazee’s absence.
