Vontaze Burfict has been going back and forth with the Pittsburgh Steelers and their fans for about a decade now, and the latest episode involves a TikTok video featuring the former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker.

‘I didn’t hit people after the play all the time,’ Burfict said during a Madden stream on Twitch. ‘Just the Steelers. (Expletive) the Steelers.’

Burfict, who played for the Bengals from 2012 to 2018, was playing the video game against a popular streamer named Sketch.

Last May, former Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell suggested he wanted to fight Burfict, and Burfict responded by proposing a charity golf event. Bell also accused Burfict of intentionally injuring him on a tackle during Cincinnati’s 16-10 win in Pittsburgh in November 2015.
