But Lewis let it be known he wasn’t happy with Burfict’s actions in the end zone during the first half Thursday night. After he teamed with safety Reggie Nelson to successfully cover Browns tight end Gary Barnidge in the back of the end zone on third down that forced a field goal, Burfict’s momentum brought him near a camera platform and when he and Nelson stepped up on it Burfict appeared to knock over a camera held by veteran stadium cameraman Jim Strickler.
“Vontaze was asked to reach out to Jim. Jim has been spoken to this morning (by the Bengals front office),” Lewis said. “And he was saying: ‘Oh, he (Burfict) doesn’t have to do that, I understand those things happen.’ But Vontaze is waiting for him to be finished with his shift. I guess he’s a hard working person and did an early shift today at his other job (Channel 5) as well. Vontaze was asked to reach out and say he’s glad Jim wasn’t injured any more severely.”
