NE Columnist.. "Classless Bengals No Match for Patriot Way"

Second, all the rationalization to justify Burfict hitting him low is completely nullified by the fact that Burfict said hitting him in the knee was an accident.  Per Burfict, he didn't go low because of double team tackling protocol , some stuff he said before the season, or trying to avoid a h2h penalty.  It was just an accident.   Even the people defending him can't look at the video and say it was an accident.  Furthermore, if it was a clean play, Burfict would not have felt the need to approach Bennett after the game and try to convince him it was an accident.

I try to give our guys the benefit of the doubt on this stuff, but Burfict has done too much during his time here to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially when he claims it's just an accident.

It wasn't after the game, it was immediately after the play.  Did you not watch the entire video, or did you just watch the cropped version?
