Times-Union reporter Ryan O’Halloran was the pool reporter who interviewed referee Brad Allen about the play that resulted in Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Cincinnati receiver A.J. Green ejected from Sunday’s game.

Below is the full transcript:

Question: Why was Jalen Ramsey ejected from the game as a result of the altercation with A.J. Green?

Allen: "No. 20 of Jacksonville [Ramsey] was ejected for a flagrant personal foul, which started the altercation which resulted in a punch from No. 18 of Cincinnati [Green]. They were both disqualified."

Question: Was Ramsey shoving Green to the ground result in an automatic ejection for Ramsey?

Allen: "I don’t want to use the term ‘automatic’ because it would have been a [penalty] on its own but we also had a fight. We ended up with a fight by Cincinnati but we had the instigator in Jacksonville. Therefore, they were both disqualified."

Question: Ramsey and Green were seen yapping throughout the first half. Did any members of your crew warn them?

Allen: "Yes, absolutely."

Question: At what point did a member of your crew say something to Green and Ramsey in the first half?

Allen: "Well, first of all, I can’t tell you what we have on our game cards because they’re back in the [officials’ locker] room. But throughout the game, we had warnings to both sidelines and to individual players, at which time we recorded. I can’t tell you the specifics of what time."

Question: The fact they had been warned, did that make the decision to eject them easier?

Allen: "Absolutely. Absolutely."

Question: During the Green-Ramsey fight, a lot of other players from both teams were involved … [why weren’t they penalized or ejected]?

Allen (started answering before question was completed): "We try to get the instigators of a situation like that. That’s who we believe we got."

Question: To recap, 18 threw a punch, which was the reason for his ejection?

Allen: "That was No. 18 of Cincinnati. He was fighting."

Question: And Ramsey didn’t need to throw a punch to get ejected?

Allen: "That’s correct. You don’t have to throw a punch in order to be disqualified."
