Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict has been fined 75k for stepping on LaGarrette Blount
Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict has been fined $75,000 for allegedly stomping on an opponent Sunday, according to multiple reports.
According to Pro Football Talk, the league made it clear in its letter to Burfict that the fine is for stepping on New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount not for the low hit Burfict put on tight end Martellus Bennett.
To be honest, Burfict should be used to paying fines. He has paid more than any player since 2011.
