Perhaps it could be called “Steelers-Bengals II: The Burfict Storm.”
The Steelers and Bengals had a little pregame skirmish at Cincinnati, which was apparently set off when Steelers linebacker Vince Williams and Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict went nose-to-nose.
When the teams met in Week 8 at Pittsburgh, Burfict’s tackle tore up Le’Veon Bell’s knee and ended Bell’s season, and the Steelers had a beef with the way Burfict ran from the seen and celebrated the tackle. Williams was especially vocal about it.
Get your popcorn ready. This should be an intense AFC North game.
And somehow it’s not surprising that James Harrison was right in the middle of the scuffle.
