Vontaze Burfict’s dirty instincts took over again on Sunday when he went low on Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett.
Burfict, who has a long history of controversial hits, took a shot at a prone Bennett, seemingly with at least some intent to it.

There is a case to be made that Burfict might have been losing his balance or something of that nature, but the problem is, the Bengals linebacker has a laundry list of bad behavior to his name. It was so bad that Cincinnati coaches went out of their way to try to curtail it. He had been behaving so far, but this is not a good look.
