Vontaze Burfict is probably going to miss a few games.
Burfict, who has a long history of dirty plays, was ejected from today’s Colts-Raiders game after delivering a brutal helmet-to-helmet hit on defenseless wide receiver JacK Doyle

Vontaze Burfict has been ejected. Pretty clear he led with the helmet there. Tossed him after a review.
Going for a kill shot really cost his team.

Fans immediately asked for Burfict to get suspended.
There isn’t any obvious reason to me why Vontaze Burfict shouldn’t get suspended for that hit. And other players should demand it. In this time of player safety his blatantly dirty style has no place in the sport.

That should be Vontaze Burfict's last down of NFL football

In a league that is seemingly obsessed with player safety, they're happy to let Vontaze Burfict play.
He's a disgrace.pic.twitter.com/WgpTUvBKQr

Still remarkable Vontaze Burfict has a job in the NFL after all these years. pic.twitter.com/trPCFCj3b6

I don't mind saying it again: Vontaze Burfict is the dirtiest player in NFL history. Firmly believe that. And he should really be booted from the league.
