Good news: avoided suspension for the second time this season following his ejection from last Terry Steinbach Jersey Sunday's game for contacting an official. Bad news: We're gue sing this isn't the last time Burfict, the mercurial linebacker, has a run-in with opposing players, officials or league representatives. Some of Burfict's Bengals teammates think officials are paying close attention to the linebacker and that attention has invariably led to more penalty flags. "I think he's getting targeted a lot," wide reciever A.J. Green said on Sunday. "On some of those plays I don't think anybody else would make it. They wouldn't get that call. I think he just has a target on Kendall Graveman Jersey his back. That's the way he is. He's an emotional guy. That's the guy we want. I wouldn't trade him for anybody in the world." But more than that, an unnamed Bengals player told ESPN's Adam Schefter that he believes . Those provocations, according to Schefter, included "officials cursing at Burfict on multiple occasions, and there is video that shows officials coming into contact with the linebacker three times in the past four games." The league denied the charges though it's easy to conclude that Burfict's reputation had everything to do with the personal-foul flag on this late hit: This is the first unsportsmanlike conduct/unnece sary roughne s penalty on Vontaze Burfict.

Jed DeMuesy (@Local12Jed) So you can understand why some folks might be talking conspiracy. But Bengals coach Marvin Lewis isn't looking for excuses -- nor does Reggie Jackson Jersey he think officials are provoking Burfict. "Officials have a job to do, and I've explained this to Vontaze, and he understands that," Lewis said. "They have a job to do and they are going to separate players, and players are in a situation where they are there. Andrew Triggs Jersey That's not what this is about, where the should be. So, get back to the huddle and get going, and that's the most important thing. We don't need to jaw with anyone after the play, any of the players, so that's important. "It would shock me if those things occur," Lewis continued. "I know on occasions supposedly they have, but again, that would shock me." Lewis added: "He has to understand. I've pointed it out in those situations. Sometimes what happens, you push back and it's the official. You can't do that. He knows better. We pay a price, we pay a price because he hurts us when it's on the field that way, and then he's not on the field, so both ways."Here's a list of some of Burfict's transgre sions that have previously led to fines and suspensions:He once in a playoff game and concu sed receiver .
