Man accused of urinating on fellow fan in Cincinnati
There’s still a long way to go, but in today’s National Football League, where head injuries are taken more seriously than they were even a few years ago, Brown won’t be rushed back.
On Saturday night in Cincinnati, the Bengals were involved in a physical, chippy battle with division rival Pittsburgh.
On Saturday, the Cincinnati Bengals suffered a heartbreaking 18-16 loss against archrivals Pittsburgh Steelers during the AFC Wild Card game.
In this one, they lost not only their cool, but their credibility.
That was not the end of it. There were arrests in the stands and incendiary social media posts from furious Bengals players, seething at refereeing decisions, in the aftermath of a match “littered with ugly hits, silly skirmishes and rowdy fans”, said Les Carpenter of The Guardian. Also consider that the Steelers were favored to win this game coming in, and that for some reason this game was officiated by the same team from the previous game which was also poorly manned. When teams like the Bengals take chances on guys that have had trouble in the past, they continue to repeat their behavior.
But Franco Harris’ game-winning touchdown reception off a deflected pass on the final play of the Steelers’ 1972 playoff win over Oakland has nothing in terms of overall drama to what occurred Saturday night at Paul Brown Stadium.
“Nah, Antonio Brown was not hurt”. Burfict was called for a personal foul on the play. Porter just smiled at the comments from players. “I know he was faking it”, Jones said on the show.
Vontaze Burfict penalty for this hit on Brown putting the Steelers in field goal range. Then came the penalties against Burfict for unnecessary roughness on a hit against Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and against Jones for unsportsmanlike conduct during an on-field skirmish while Brown was being attended to by trainers. But figure it the f*** out one time dudes; I get the NFL is a kill or be killed league when you’re on the field but they are not literally talking about KILLING someone.
“That’s the first step; realizing I’m wrong”, said Lewis regarding two of his biggest defensive stars, per ESPN.com’s Coley Harvey. Who would have thought that I know. Still, with Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger playing with a separated shoulder and time winding down, the Bengals remained in good position to win. They’ve gotten the breaks they’ve needed in each of the past two weeks.
Jones would go on to say Vontaze Burfict’s hit on Brown shouldn’t have been flagged, but at this point the words spoken seem like crying over spilled milk.
Jones maintains that he shouldn’t have received a penalty because Porter wasn’t supposed to be on the field and should receive a harsher punishment than a fine.
