Burfict caused one penalty that was mostly due to Brown ducking into the hit. It was an unnecessary risk for Burfict, but not reckless. It was Jones' penalty that wrapped the game for the Steelers. Counter that with knocking out your #1 RB, #1 WR for the playoff game and your starting QB for the end of the Bengals playoff game--it was the coaching staffs incompetence, not realizing Ben was hurt more and unable to throw long accurate passes that lead to the last drive--and the scales tilt to the Bengals favor. Not the Steelers. 

But keep on believing that...or, more likely, A-living in the land of delusion or B-throwing out easy to refute, weak smack. In any event, there's nothing more than a lot of wrong in your OP and this reply. 

"Ducking into the hit", while still a penalty on the defender, at least makes sense as an argument when the offensive player has the ball and the defender doesn't have any time at all to pull up on the tackle. Brown didn't have the ball, and Burfict was going for the big hit regardless of brown or the ball.
