Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict may not know how to hold his head when he makes a tackle, but he’s squared away with the old ankle snapping dirty trick. Watch him give Cam Newton a little extra twist. This was Newton’s rushing touchdown in the third quarter, the end of a 12-yard run in a tight game.
Vontaze Burfict gives Cam Newton’s ankle an extra twist
The Bengals linebacker gave Cam Newton a little extra present after the tackle.
Newton knew what was happening, and gives Burfict a foot to the facemask to express his displeasure at the move. Wouldn’t you? It did not seem to cause problems for Newton as the game went on. Regardless, that’s the kind of crap that doesn’t belong on the field.
Needless to say, fans who saw that move, Panthers fans, weren’t happy about it. The NFL probably won’t be happy about it either. Burfict didn’t get a flag for that move, but he can almost certainly expect a fine for it when the league starts handing out supplemental discipline later in the week.
