If you haven't seen the video of Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict twisting Cam Newton's injured ankle during the third quarter of Sunday's Bengals/Panthers game, check it out here.
This came after Burfict was flagged for a blatant roughing the passer penalty just two quarter earlier.
Carolina Panther kicker Graham Gano saw both infractions up close and in person, issuing this response on Twitter after the game.
Unbelievable that a player would intentionally try to hurt my teammates twice. I hope the NFL lays down the law hard. #Unacceptable

Gano wasn't done...
Seriously that makes me sick. There is no room in this league 4 something like that. We are grown men, have respect for the game and others.

The NFL will likely take a long and hard look at this video this week. Burfict's wallet and reputation might both be at stake.
