NASHVILLE _ Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict didn’t talk after getting ejected from Sunday’s game for brushing aside an official’s arm with about five minutes left in the first half.
But his head coach was.
“He has to understand. I’ve pointed it out in those situations,” said Marvin Lewis, about as drained as he’s ever been after a loss. “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.
