PITTSBURGH - Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict told Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown in person that he did not intentionally try to hurt Brown with a concussion-inducing helmet shot in the 2016 playoffs.
Brown told ESPN that he got an apology from Burfict when the two crossed paths in Miami during the offseason.
Burfict, who was suspended for the first three games of the season for several egregious hits, will see Brown on the field Sunday in Cincinnati for the first time since the AFC wild-card matchup, which Pittsburgh won 18-16.
