...in the foot at the end. Unreal. Burfict could have taken Antonio Williams head off.

That entire game was a disgrace. The NFL is looking more and more like roller derby.

Scouring social media and ESPN.....
Bengals coaching staff lost control..yes!
However, had they benched Burfict as he was definitely out of control and still lost..Imagine the heat!!!
Still searching to see if Brown will be able to play next week

Antonio Brown exited late in the fourth quarter of the Steelers' Wild Card win over the Bengals with a concussion.
Brown took a senseless hit to the head from Vontaze Burfict with less than 20 seconds left in the game. Burfict was called for a personal foul on the play, and Adam Jones earned an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty while Brown was being helped off to set up the game-winning field goal. Brown was electric Saturday night, catching 7-of-12 targets for 119 yards including a 60-yard catch and run to set up the Steelers' only offensive touchdown in the third quarter. Brown has been placed in the concussion protocol, but he was reportedly joking with teammates in the locker room. His status will be monitored closely this week.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he has "no indication" whether or not Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder) and Antonio Brown (concussion) will be ready for next week's Divisional Round game against the Broncos.
Roethlisberger suffered a shoulder injury in Saturday's win over Cincinnati. He returned for the Steelers' final drive but mostly stuck to short passes and never really tested out his arm. Tomlin admitted he wasn't sure "how far" Roethlisberger could throw it. Already without running back DeAngelo Williams, the Steelers would be in serious trouble if Big Ben and Brown can't go against the Broncos next Sunday. Backup Landry Jones completed two of five passes for 11 yards and one interception during Roethlisberger's short absence on Saturday.

I don't understand how in the world Jones gets a 15 yard flag and Joey Porter gets nothing. Porter comes out on the field to mouth everyone on the Bengals(which the coaches CAN'T do), for which the NFL just announced he will be fined for....BUT, when Jones mouths him back, instead of offsetting penalties on both, they flag the guy WHO IS ALLOWED TO BE ON THE FIELD, but not the guy who is NOT. Those 15 yards made a long FG a chip shot, That is absolutely BULLSHIT. Burfict deserved his penalty, Jones did not.

Explanation re coaches and players on the field "Assistants are not allowed on the field during injury timeouts. Medical staff, trainers, attendants and the head coach can come out to check on the welfare of the player. With an injury that appears to be more serious you will see players and other staff out on the field at times to check on player. The referees gave Porter the benefit of the doubt because there was real concern for Brown. |

On a good note, I thought AJ did fairly well considering everything. I'd take him over Laundry Jones.
