Launching is not a foul.
And from the same link:
Since any hit like that outside the tackle box is illegal, it's utterly stupid to point out where it says "the tackle box no longer exists once the ball leaves the tackle box". It's superfluous wordage where logic dictates that if, first, any hit outside the tackle box is illegal, there must have been, initially, a tackle box which would make a rule valid.
Anyone that can follow logic would understand that a hit of that sort, when done inside the tackle box, is legal. And, once the ball carrier leaves that initial defined area, it's illegal.

Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict is facing suspension for his hit on Antonio Brown during Saturday night's wild-card game, per a source familiar with the situation. It's even possible Burfict could be suspended for more than one game, per the source. The NFL already fined Burfict $69,454 last month for his combination of plays against Pittsburgh. As a repeat offender, Burfict now is expected to be suspended.

His 7 tackles and 3 personal fouls a game will be missed.
The Owen guy is a relative of somebody who I am friends with on Facebook. It was burfict's 5th personal foul in a 2 game span. Burfict will be dead by his mid-30's if he gives himself just a few more head injuries.
John Urschel just called Burfict out on Twitter for the same helmet to helmet hit on Maxx Williams last week. Williams didn't even have the ball, Burfict blindsided him with a helmet to helmet hit on the goal line

Did he get fined for that? Didn't I hear that went unflagged?

Just heard about that on talk radio this morning. Isn't this is the kind of hit the league made a rule against because the Bengals cried about Hines Ward? Or is this a legal hit because it didn't get flagged or fined?

I'm not going to get into the argument that Burfict has a problem, because he obviously does. He's a dirty football player, and a dumb football player, and I really hope the Bengals cut ties and the dude gets his shit together. That being said, the worst thing I've seen today in the news is Pittsburgh Fans calling for him to be criminally charged (someone even said he should get attempted murder). Are you kidding me? I had a smidge of respect for the intelligence of Pittsburgh fans (the ones on here at least), but if that is an actual thought that goes through your head, don't watch football. Just don't. It's above the heads of these idiots, and if we are going to be criminally investigating hits now, the NFL should just cease to exist. It is absolutely laughable, and I hope to god these people grow up.

He's been benched before in college and blamed his coaches. He is not going to learn or change. He is forcing the refs and the league to watch him more closely than any other player. Opposing players know he'll uncontrollable commit multiple personal fouls when he gets mad. The Bengals might have to cut him just because he is a liability every play he sees the field.

I agree 100% here, but unfortunately I am not the owner of the Bengals haha. If I was, he would have been cut this morning. He's cost us so much, regardless of some of his talented plays, and it's just time to cut ties...

And I gave him full credit for his play after the Gio hit.
The announcers said he was out of control but he seemed to funnel that into his play with the sack and the INT.
And I thought that sack that hurt Ben was totally clean and legal.
Apparently what happened AFTER the sack? Maybe not so much.
I really should have known better than to think Burfict wouldn't take a dirty shot any chance he could.
