Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict has a long history of being a dirty player and he may be in hot water with the league after they review video of his actions during this weekend’s Pats-Bengals game.
Currently the league is reveiwing this low hit by Burfict on Patriots tight end Michael Bennett,

Thanks to Mike Reiss of ESPN, Burfict will likely get in even more trouble when the NFL sees this video of him stepping on New England running back LeGarrette Blount after the Pats touchdown run late in the fourth quarter.
Burfict was suspended for the first three games of this season for repeated violations of player safety after he delivered this dirty hit on Antonio Brown in the playoffs.
Not sure what else the league can do to control Burfict except to suspend him for the rest of the season.
