Pacman Jones: ‘The [expletive] officials did a horrible job’

The hit that turned Antonio Brown into a helpless pile of goo quivering on the turf of Paul Brown Stadium was all a fraud says charming Bengals cornerback Pacman Jones.

The beginning of the end for the Cincinnati Bengals was running back Jeremy Hill’s fumble, recovered by the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the Bengals were trying to put away the AFC wild card game in the fourth quarter on Saturday night. And Porter shouldn’t have been on the field taunting Bengals players.

Yes, we saw some disgusting hits from the Steelers as well. Burfict was heavily fined after the team’s Week 14 matchup where he dove low at Ben Roethlisberger’s legs.

National Football League spokesman Michael Signora added: “As is the case during the regular season, any play or situation that involves a violation or potential violation of player safety rules or unsportsmanlike conduct – whether penalized or not during the game – is reviewed for possible discipline as per our standard protocol”. Then Burfict’s unnecessary and brutal hit came on Brown, and the game exploded in chaos, as both teams were in each other’s faces with coaches from the sidelines on the field.

The Bengals’ penalties at the end cost them their first postseason win in 25 years.

Jones was penalized after exchanging words with Steelers linebackers coach Joey Porter and Jones wondered after the game why Porter was allowed to be on the field at that point.

While the 15 yards the Steelers received for Burfict’s hit would have made the game-winning field goal a 50-yard attempt, the penalty on Jones made the final kick a chip shot for Chris Boswell.
