Vontaze Burfict Knocks Out Antonio Brown in 2015 Wild Card 😳
On January 9, 2016, during the final seconds of the 2015 AFC Wild Card game, Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict delivered an infamous, devastating helmet-to-helmet hit on Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown.
With 22 seconds remaining in the game and the Bengals leading 16-15, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw a high pass over the middle to Antonio Brown. The pass fell incomplete, but as Brown came down, Burfict launched himself and struck Brown directly in the head and neck area with his shoulder/helmet.
Brown suffered a severe concussion from the hit and was forced to miss the following week's Divisional Round playoff game, which the Steelers lost 23-16 to the Denver Broncos. Many football analysts and fans often point to this specific head injury as a potential catalyst for Brown's stark behavior changes and volatile public outbursts in the years that followed.
The NFL cited this hit as part of a pattern of "repeated violations of safety-related playing rules". Burfict was handed a three-game suspension without pay to start the 2016 NFL season.
