Vontaze Burfict injured on block by JuJu Smith-Schuster

Vontaze Burfict has dealt his share of vicious hits on Steelers players over the years. Monday night, he was on the receiving end of one.

Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster blindsided the linebacker with a brutal block on a screen pass to running back Le’Veon Bell in the fourth quarter.

Smith-Schuster was penalized twice for the play — once for unnecessary roughness and another time for taunting as he stood over Burfict after the hit.

Burfict, meanwhile, lay on the field injured for several minutes before being carted off the field.
