Related: About this forumVontaze Burfict Suspended Three Games for Repeated Violations of Player Safety Rules
https://nflcommunications.com/Pages/Vontaze-Burfict-Suspended-Three-Games-for-Repeated-Violations-of-Player-Safety-Rules.aspxVONTAZE BURFICT of the Cincinnati Bengals has been suspended without pay for the first three games of the 2016 regular-season for repeated violations of safety-related playing rules.
Burficts most recent violation came with 22 seconds remaining in last Saturdays game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, when he was penalized for unnecessary roughness for using his shoulder to make forcible contact to the head and neck area of a defenseless receiver.
The suspension was imposed by NFL Vice President of Football Operations MERTON HANKS, who ruled that Burficts action placed his opponent at unnecessary risk of injury and should have been avoided. The suspension will take effect at the time of the final roster reduction prior to Week 1 of the 2016 regular-season.

It always helps to have the triplets. Even Jim Zorn would have looked like a genius with them.

An OC who calls a timeout and ices his own kicker (when it's -1 outside), and the kicker goes wide left on a 27 yard FG attempt.
Thought maybe Norv and Payton will...
