The Shazier Rule

No one cares about his hard, legal hits. Now the Bengal fans here have a mental and emotional breakdown every time a Steeler makes a hard hit even when it's legal. That's what separates bengal fan whining from say Panthers fans being mad at Burfict for getting fined for twisting ankles after the play.

Burfict attempted to dodge Brown, but Brown had his head tilted to the side and still only Burfict's shoulder hit his helmet.

You didn't mention that specifically, but I'm pretty sure that's what you were referring to since we're discussing the playoff game.

There was no dirty intent, or even intent to hit him.
