Burfict is on the ragged edge, but a lot of this shit is just piling on. Can't hit "the most dangerous team in the playoffs" in the mouth and get away with it!

Let's not underestimate Burfict now. He would have kneed him in the head if he wanted to knee him while he's down.
The above aren't my videos, but there was a longer, perfectly clear vine of it going around that has since been removed that shows it longer than the video above and from perfect angles. I watched it repeatedly. Ben is down. Play is clearly over. Burfict slides around and knees him hard right in the shoulder. It was 100% on purpose. 100% a direct hit and hard. And, frankly, I have 100% no problem with it based on how the Steelers were playing (coaches included).
