In the least surprising NFL news of the week, former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict admitted he played dirty when he went against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Burfict made the admission in a TikTok video in which he claimed he didn’t hit players late all the time other than against the Steelers. I’m sure fans of other teams would counter this given his extensive history of fines. Nevertheless, there’s no doubt Burfict always went above and beyond when it came to his dirty play against the Steelers.
In his career, Burfict faced off against the Steelers 10 times. Given that he and the Bengals were 0-5 in the last five, I can understand why even now, more than five years after that last loss, Burfict is still a little bitter.
The definition of a scumbag
