ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Oakland Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict, suspended for the season after Week 4 for what the NFL deemed a culmination of dirty play, sounded off Friday about the league's punishment in the wake of Cleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett hitting Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph with his helmet a night earlier and earning himself an indefinite suspension. Burfict also had harsh words for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
"The NFL had to suspend somebody for that last night, since that wasn't a football act," Burfict told The Athletic.
