Ravens have had issues with the Bengals’ Vontaze Burfict, too

“I’ll tell you one thing, if Lewis can’t control his players, than maybe Marvin Lewis shouldn’t be on the sideline coaching that drek”.

The quarterback was taken out of a the game on a cart.

Meanwhile, the Steelers won the game, but did not escape unscathed.

The Cincinnati Bengals cornerback accused Brown of faking an injury and acting like he was hurt after this controversial hit during the Steelers’ 18-16 playoff win. But Vontaze Burfict and have gone past dumb into a whole new category over their respective careers.

Burfict’s penalty was undeniable, but after the game Jones was livid because Steelers linebackers coach Joey Porter was on the field, presumably checking on Brown, who lay on the turf following Burfict’s hit.

Saturday night’s penalty will not soon be forgotten in Cincinnati. “It always has got to be No. 1”, Bengals tackle Andrew Whitworth said.

Officials gave Porter the benefit of the doubt since there was real concern for Brown (editor’s note: though Jones no doubt disagrees; he contends that Brown was faking). “It’s disappointing. Our guys fought their tails off all year, fought their tail off today, got back and went ahead, and then we destructed on ourselves”. We also know that while National Football League referees tend to let the players play more in the postseason, they are very PR conscious about head injuries and player safety now with the issue becoming a major talking point in the media, so any violent looking hit to the head will draw a penalty. The biggest completion was a 12-yarder to Antonio Brown on fourth-and-3 from his 41 with 22 seconds remaining, setting up the freakish ending in which Burfict was penalized for elbowing Brown in the head after an incomplete pass on the next play.
