Burfict Looked Great

It was close, but the refs threw the flag, erased Peko's TFL and gave the Rams 15 and a 1st down.  He draws those penalties because of his history. 

Yep.
Another player does that, no flags.

It's a shame because Burfict gets a bad rap despite not being a very dirty player. He has his moments, but overall the refs just have it out for him.

At the same time, without his hard hitting, he wouldn't be the player we know and love. So I think you just have to take the Referee target on his back along with his incredible and physical play.

A lot of the great linebackers were flag magnets. That's what it takes to be an intimidator in the middle of the field.
