Big Ben: Burfict Told JuJu ‘You’re Next’ Immediately After Hit On Brown

Prior to the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday road game against the Cincinnati Bengals there were rumblings that linebacker Vontaze Burfict was planning to get some sort of payback against wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster for last season’s blindside block.

While Burfict didn’t seemingly get any cheap shots in on Smith-Schuster during Sunday’s game, he did manage to get one in on wide fellow Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown in the third quarter. Additionally, Burfict then apparently threatened bodily harm on Smith Schuster immediately after knocking Brown out of the game temporarily, according to Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
