Vontaze Burfict is playing in his second game this season after coming back from a 4 game suspension for PEDs but it appears that he may be forced to miss more time after the league reviews the tape of this week’s game.
During today’s Steelers-Bengals game, Burfict delivered a late shoulder hit to Antonio Brown’s head while the Steelers wide receiver was being held down by twi other Bengals defenders.

Burfict was not penalized for the play and Steelers fans were irate.
Still don’t know how you miss this call lol. That’s was an obvious hit intended to hurt Brown. Expect none the less from Burfict though https://t.co/JqYFNKMKtr

If NFLcares so much about safety, suspend Burfict for that hit on Brown

Hey @nfl if you really care about head injuries maybe it’s time to suspend Vontaze Burfict again because he doesn’t get it. Another foreman to AB’s head

The NFL is going to have to eventually ban Burfict from playing football because dude is constantly getting suspended for dirty stuff like this.
