Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict appeared to dive at the knees of New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett late in their game Sunday.
Though it's unclear if Burfict was trying to hurt Bennett, it's undeniable that the linebacker has a lengthy history of taking cheap shots on his opponents.
Regardless of Burfict's intentions here, his actions angered Bennett's teammate Rob Gronkowski, and nearly led to a brawl between the two teams.
