Tough the exact samw thing. No fan of the Steelers at all, but that hit to Browns head was as nasty as it gets. Disgusting! 

Really similar hit that Norman took Beckham in the Giant game

I see a guy going about half speed that hits him in the head with a shoulder as if he was bracing for contact. 

Good lord you are reaching

i'm frustrated with the refs call on #24, but when you got a rep, you're going to get calls like that.  burfict call seemed the right one though.

burfict's hit was stupid but a little more forgivable since it was at full speed in a football game against an unpredictably-moving target.

adam jones? grabbing a coach's lapel and jerking him around? unforgivably stupid.

Why was Joey Porter out there? Why was a  position coach allowed to slap Burfict away from Brown while he was patting brown on the back?

[carolinahiatt]

He didn't have to hit him.  Personal foul all the way.  Cheap shot.

We can agree to disagree but like a former poster said Burfict doesn't get the benefit of the doubt because of who he is. Just like now it's likely neither will Norman or Beckham because of that nonsense from NY.

Purposeful hit to the head of a defenseless receiver if you can't see that........

It is that same after the play cheap poo that he did on Cam last year when Cam scored.  Twisting and turning his ankle.  He's dirty and cost his team.  Instead of a great comeback win.  It is just another sorrowful lose for the Bengals.

If Jones doesn't go Johnny Psycho it would have been what a 50 yarder?

The play was over and a penalty was already called and you get ANOTHER one called?

I think Pac Man made it rain for some friends in Vegas.

The Steelers would have still had a couple shots to get closer. there were like 18 seconds left I think.

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Yeah I think even without penalty number 2 the kicker not only had the leg but they still could've gotten closer. Most thought it was a foregone conclusion the Steelers would win as soon as we saw the first flag.

As a team I pull for on the side. I'm furious at the end of that game. I feel the Burfict hit was clean. He hit him shoulder first and theres no way to say it was late because he was looking down the entire time. 

WTF dude?

It wasn't a flag because it was LATE.

It was a flag because the dirty SOB took a direct shot at Brown's fugging HEAD.

Did you not see Brown on the ground flopping like a fish because Burfict went for his goddam HEAD?

Gimme a break. this was malicious and completely unnecessary and will be called every time in the NFL. As it should be. Fug Burfict.

That's about as obvious as one can get. Burfict should serve a suspension for at least 4 games next season if the NFL is serious about player safety.

If I recall, the flag wasn't thrown until Brown was noticeably hurt. Definitely late

You recall incorrectly.

The flag came in immediately.

As should have Beckham this year when he purposely hit Norman from the side.
