I feel like he wasn't given three fines before being suspended, only just twice (The "lower body tap" and the ankle twist, neither of which was a hit to the head/neck).
Burfict was fined a lot of times before he was 1st suspended. He was fined basically 8 times before he was suspended.
Sept 2013 for hitting a Packers player in the crotch after a play - $10k. $21k for a hit on a defenseless James Jones in the same game.
Oct 2013 - Had 3 personal fouls. One resulted in a $7,875 fine for a facemask on running back Fred Jackson.
Later Oct 2013 - $21000 for spearing Jets WR Stephen Hill.
Oct 2014 - $25000 for twisting Cam Newton and Greg Olson's ankles after a tackle.
Dec 2015 - Fines for 3 separate plays from the Steelers Game totaling $69,454.[/font][/size][/color]
Then came the Playoff Game against the Steelers in January where Burfict hit Brown and was suspended for 3 games. From what I can tell, this was Burfict's 1st Suspension.
October 2016 - fined $75000 for stomping NE RB LaGarrette Blount.
November 2016 - Fine $12,154 for flipping off fans against the Bills.
