WATCH: JuJu Smith-Schuster lays into Vontaze Burfict with dirty hit

JuJu Smith-Schuster

Vontaze Burfict has been involved in some controversial plays in his career. On Monday, he was in another one. This time, the Cincinnati Bengals linebacker was on the receiving end of a dirty hit from Pittsburgh Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.

While blocking Burfict is easily justifiable. But Smith-Schuster was clearly targeting Burfict’s head on this one. Making matters worse, Smith-Schuster stood over Burfict after the play was over. He was flagged for both the hit and standing over Burfict.

Burfict — like Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier earlier in the game — was carted off of the field.

While Smith-Schuster was flagged, he was not ejected. Still, expect him to be disciplined by the NFL for this hit.
