“The (expletive) ref did a frightful (expletive) job”, Jones said in the now-deleted video.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger confirmed during his weekly radio show Tuesday that he has a sprained AC joint and torn ligaments in his throwing shoulder.
“I have to find a better way, I know that”, he said.
After the Bengals were penalized 30 yards on the play, Chris Boswell’s 35-yard kick gave Pittsburgh the win with 14 seconds remaining.
The NFL noted Burfict had already been fined four times for risky hits on players during the season.
Roethlisberger was injured in the Steelers-Bengals game on Saturday when he was sacked in the 4th quarter by Vontaze Burfict. ESPN, citing multiple sources, reported Monday that Roethlisberger is likely to play. He was fined fined $31,000 for hitting a defenseless Green Bay Packers receiver (James Jones) and fined $10,000 for striking a Packers tight end Ryan Taylor in the groin in the same game. “I’ll leave the door ajar for him”. The hit was so dirty that Big Ben couldn’t throw the ball for more than 5 yards when he returned. Roethlisberger went back in and drove the Steelers to midfield, where the Bengals had the Steelers stopped before the penalties on Burfict and Jones.
“It’s more of a petition for players’ safety”, Johnson said.
Roethlisberger said he still was sore and was taking things day-by-day. I am confident that Kubiak will get the Broncos ready no matter who takes the field.
“What’s going to sell papers is Adam and Vontaze Burfict cost them the game”, Jones said.
“Unfortunately, he can’t have that kind of blow with the guy that’s receiving the pass, but it didn’t go over the edge for the course of the season”, Lewis said.
Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams, who missed the Bengals game with a right foot injury, remains “on the outside looking in” as far as facing Denver, according to Tomlin, who added: “We’ll leave the door ajar for him”.
