Vontaze Burfict’s latest dirty play against the Steelers is not sitting well with many of Pittsburgh’s players.
Burfict was seen kicking Steelers fullback Roosevelt Nix in the face early in the Cincinnati Bengals’ loss to their rivals on Sunday.

The play got some attention during the game but even more afterwards.
Running back Le’Veon Bell said that Burfict’s actions did not constitute a “respectable play.”
Le'Veon Bell: 'My fullback got kicked in the face. That's just not football to me. I don't think that's a respectable play."

Burfict has a long history of dirty plays, particularly against the Steelers. He is likely to face discipline from the league.
