Steelers Beat Bengals After Vontaze Burfict Is Flagged For Brutal Hit (Video)

If you thought things got out of hand between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals after Ryan Shazier’s controversial helmet-to-helmet hit and fans throwing trash at an injured Ben Roethlisberger, then you’ve seen nothing yet.

The AFC Wild Card Game went to a whole new level in the final two minutes of Pittsburgh’s 18-16 win Saturday.

The Steelers and Bengals traded turnovers, and Cincinnati gave the ball to Pittsburgh with 1:23 remaining. The Steelers then drove the ball into field-goal range after a brutal hit by Vontaze Burfict on Antonio Brown led to a personal foul.

Adam Jones also was called for a personal foul on the play, setting up a game-winning 35-yard field goal for the Steelers’ Chris Boswell.

Pittsburgh will meet the Broncos in Denver next Saturday in the AFC Divisional Playoff.
