Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict is facing league suspension for his hit on Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown at the end of Pittsburgh’s 18-16 wild card playoff win over Cincinnati at Paul Brown Stadium Saturday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Burfict picked up close to $70,000 in fines for his actions on the field in Pittsburgh’s 33-20 win over the Bengals in Week 14.
Included in that was a full-on dive at the knees of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Incidentally, a clean hit and tackle from Burfict on Roethlisberger in the third quarter chased the Steelers’ passer from the game.
