How do you rap someone up from behind when in fact the player is in front of you and another player Jones is behind him.

Simple as was said by others and even Fouts confirmed, Brady faked to Bennett causing Jones and Burfict to react, one went high (Jones) amd one went low (Burfict) which is text book tackling on a double team. It is obvious with anyone with common sense both Bengals defender thought Brady threw to Bennett versus behind the, to Danny. A.

Jones was to the side, first of all.  Secondly, down multiple scores late, situational football dictates that the first player in, whether it's Jones or Burfict, wraps up the receiver while the second tries to force the ball out.  He can't wrap up or strip the ball on the ground.  There's no logical reason to go low there.

Second, all the rationalization to justify Burfict hitting him low is completely nullified by the fact that Burfict said hitting him in the knee was an accident.  Per Burfict, he didn't go low because of double team tackling protocol , some stuff he said before the season, or trying to avoid a h2h penalty.  It was just an accident.   Even the people defending him can't look at the video and say it was an accident.  Furthermore, if it was a clean play, Burfict would not have felt the need to approach Bennett after the game and try to convince him it was an accident.

I try to give our guys the benefit of the doubt on this stuff, but Burfict has done too much during his time here to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially when he claims it's just an accident.
