Burfict was involved in a lot of key stuff in that game, both good and bad.
He made the interception that should have killed the Bengals, which he ran away with into the tunnel. He made the sack that hurt the Rapist. He of course made the personal foul that cost them the game.

Officiating is what allowed this game to escalate to the stupidity levels it did. Not flagging Shazier for leading with the crown of his helmet DIRECTLY to Bernard,s face absolutely had to be flagged. When it was not, Pitt applied salt to the wound in challenging the fumble and being awarded the ball. Shazier and the Pitt sideline were celebrating the hit and that is what set the Bengals off....

@ESPNStatsInfo Vontaze Burfict: 14 career unnecessary roughness penalties (including playoffs), most in NFL since 2012

The entire broadcast was practically foreshadowing Burfict doing something stupid to negatively impact his team. It was never a matter of if, but when, then boom. Dude ran back out of the tunnel like 9th inning Matt Harvey in game 5.

It wasn't just the hit, it was a very checkered history for Burfict that put him out this long. I'm not sure I'd have been okay with even a single game had he not been dinged in the past but once guys have a clear history of being cheap-shot artists, all bets are off. Honestly, the league could've tossed him for 8 and I wouldn't have given a ****. Remorseless and repeat headhunters are awful for the health of the league both for the immediate future and in the long-term. The more times guys like Antonio Brown hit the turf limp, the more mothers will hand their kids a basketball or a baseball and the less talent we'll have in the game. I'm all for giving a 1-time get out of jail free card, but dropping the hammer on Burfict doesn't bother me a bit.

But there may not be a more irredeemable shithead in the league right now (non-Greg Hardy division).

Here's hoping that Von Miller gets suspended next week for repeatedly doing the same thing. And the murders, of course.

I'm also not going to shed a tear for Pittsburgh.
James Harrison is probably the reason these rules exist. If there was a more blatant headhunter in the league over the last decade, I damn sure don't recall him. Live by the sword, assholes...

No offense but that's bullshit. Watch the replay in slow motion. Shazier drops his head down as to initiate contact with the top of his helmet. You are taught in Pop Warner to never do this because of the danger it presents to both the tackler and the player with the ball. Spearing/launching/targeting (NCAA rule) all apply here AINEC.
