Pittsburgh Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams blamed Vontaze Burfict for thwarting the team’s Super Bowl run last season, and that didn’t go over well with the Bengals linebacker.
Remember, Burfict put a dirty hit on Antonio Brown in the playoff matchup between the two teams, and it knocked the All-Pro receiver out for the remainder of the postseason. Williams said had it not been for that hit the Steelers would’ve given the Broncos “hell” in the divisional playoff game, but Burfict didn’t agree. Check out what he had to say in response to Williams’ comments.

Expect plenty of hard hits and trash talking when these two divisional foes square off later in the year.
