He did lighten up a little, but as he hit AB in the head he flexed his shoulder. ALL of our hearts dropped when he hit him, then the flag came in and we knew it.
I agree with fredtoast, burfict isnt getting the message. He does not need to change his style of play at all! The dude is a GREAT tackler. I would honestly considering him one of the best LBs in the game. He needs to stop with the stuff like twisting ankles at the end of the play, hitting AB late, stuff we consider " flagrant".
But the announcers did make the Cincinnati Bengals seem like theyre all dirty criminals. It was getting ridiculous
I dont get how people can come to this conclusion. He wasnt trying to send a message. Browns 2nd foot comes down just as the contact was made. If Browns body was not pushed in front of Burfict he would not have hit him. He gets pushed over head extended all the way and Burfict is coming full steam but gets shit because he cant break the laws of science and allow Browns head to pass through his body without making contact.
Busting his ass to make a play in the biggest game of his career in the last seconds of the game. If Brown catches it he is there to make a play and be a hero for the 3rd time in the game. Instead he gets his own fans turning on him for unavoidable incidental contact.
