No fine though, so where does that leave the whole "target on his back" that everyone thought the NFL put on him?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The NFL just follows whatever the announcers say live because that is what the average fan will think of the play. The announcers Sunday defended the hit so it wasn't fined/suspended, if they tore into Burfict then he'd be out the year. Luckily the announcer gave Burfict and honest and reasonable call. The next time we get a Bengal/Burfict hating announcer and Burfict lays a big hit on someone he'll be suspended regardless of whether it was illegal
