Vontaze Burfict fined $12K for kicking Steelers player

The Bengals linebacker was fined $12,154 for unsportsmanlike conduct for kicking Steelers fullback Roosevelt Nix in Cincinnati’s loss to Pittsburgh.

Burfict has a history of unsportsmanlike conduct and unnecessary roughness toward the Steelers.

Following the 2015 AFC wild-card showdown between the two AFC North rivals, Burfict was suspended three games for delivering a shoulder hit on a defenseless Antonio Brown.
