I don't believe Brown sold the hit.  I think he was knocked the fug out. That hit was brutal, even if it was unintentional.  

 I believe he sold it and sold it well

he sold it right into the concussion protocol, so we'll see if you're right.

No it wasn't. Josh stood around, watching his guys tackle, and OBJ helmet-to-helmeted him. A. Brown was a moving target falling down, and Burfict clipped him on the head. Whether intentional or not is the debate, but at full speed, I think it was more chance than intention.

Yes. Give Vontaze Burfict the benefit of the doubt on a clear headhunt. Lol.

I never really heard the explanation on the last penalty against Cincy.  I heard the announcers say something about Jones bumping a ref, but if they replayed it, I missed it. 

 

That was a very important penalty that no one is really talking about. 

[Mr. Scot]

Tomlinson is calling Deion on his bulls--t defense of Burfict.

Way to ruin my wild card weekend picks bengals. LMAO. All those Bengal fans were crying as if they aren't 0-7 in their last playoff appearances.

My take is kneel down make Steelers use timeouts and kick a field goal maybe giving them less than a minute and needing a touchdown to win

[tiger7_88]

I'm done with Deion Sanders.

Sonofabitch is full-blown defending Vontez Burfict on NFL Network.  It's DISGUSTING.

Vontez Burfict has a dirty reputation FOR A REASON.

Sanders, you're an ASS.

"Clear". Debatable. Stop watching it in slow motion, and come back please. 

Intent is the debate.

Me either.  They said something in the nfln postgame about jones doing something (pushing?) a steelers asst coach who came on the field to check on brown.  Not sure.

[Fox007]

Soooo many people have no clue about the rules lol...

Brown was a defenseless receiver....Giovanni was a runner.  Big diff.

and they never said the sack was a bad hit...just trying to fill air time by asking the head official what he thought.

people's hatred of the Steelers are making some of these comments sound ridiculous.

I HATE the Steelers....but this loss is all on the Bengals.  Be even remotely smart and they win.

Gio was a receiver that play. ...defenseless.   He made a quick turn and looked up field.   BAM.. Steeler came launching helmet to helmet. 

 

Earlier in the game,   Bengals player hit a Steelers receiver,  after the Steelers receiver had just turned around and started looking down the field...  even though he did drop the ball,      bam............15 yard penalty,   defenseless receiver.  The Bengal was leading with his shoulder.   and didn't launch.

 

Brown,  was incidental ,  no matter how bad it looked.    Some on here are claiming it was the exact same as what happened to Norman..   it's not even close.    I don't really hate the Steelers that much..     some people can't overlook their hate for Burfict though.     It's a shame that the hit that will probably get him suspended for a long time,  is a hit where he probably meant for it to be a clean hit,   leading with his shoulder,  aiming at the chest...before Brown leaned down in the very last second.                   When he gets suspended for a long time,  it should be for the poo he does that is blatantly dirty.

Pretty shocked there are posters saying brown sold that hit.

 

you could see his eyes roll into the back of his head while he was falling down. And his arms did that paralysis thing. Pretty fuging scary tbh.

heard he was in the nfl concussion protocol so maybe I was being too harsh. it looked overdramatic, but then again I haven't been (thankfully) on the other end of a hit that hard.
