They magnified all of his hits and antics because of it. Burfict has the same reputation so anytime he does something even remotely shady, it's going to get a response.
The truth I hate to dwell on is that part of why we love Burfict is that he's the A-hole bully we despise the Steelers for cultivating. I'd absolutely love to have a team that beats the bullies without resorting to their crud... I just haven't seen us do it. I consider him the Bengals' version of an NHL goon. He's willing to be the bad guy whenever another team thinks they can step all over us.
