Vontaze Burfict and Antonio Brown
March 21, 2019
Antonio Brown and Vontaze Burfict were both former AFC North division rivals, both have had a bad history in some rough games against each other. Now they’re both going to have to brush the bad history aside each other and work together because they’re both now teammates for the Oakland Raiders.
The high hit from Burfict on Brown in the 2015 AFC Wild Card game gave Brown a serious injury to not be able to play in the divisional round against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos went on to beat the Steelers, and the Broncos were Super Bowl champions. Burfict gave a little speech saying how what he did wasn’t personal and he didn’t want that to happen.
“He’s a great player. He’s going to be in the Hall of Fame one day, honestly I’m just going to approach him like I do with all my other teammates introduce myself and all that good stuff. There’s nothing negative over here we’re on the same team, were trying to win a championship over here… honestly we might be the closest friends on the team. so, just got to go along with it, and I can’t wait to meet him.”
