If we were up by three, Burfict hits someone and we win the game, people say "Damn, that was a solid hit. Refs shouldn't have called it."
If we lose, people point fingers and say "Damn, if he'd kept it together they would've won."
Talib's team won. Winners get treated like winners.
Winning changes the narrative. It may not be right, but it's how things work. He'll get suspended, but they won the game and that's all people are focused on. If the Bengals would have held on, Burfict's hit would not have garnered as much attention either. Also throw in the fact that the Bengals were on the verge of winning their first playoff game in almost three decades, Burficts history, and you knew it would get talked about.
