The Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers may be bitter rivals in real life, but that doesn't appear to have an impact on who Vontaze Burfict chooses as his go-to team in the video game world.

Cincinnati's standout linebacker posted a picture on his verified Twitter account Tuesday indicating that the Steelers are his squad of choice in Madden.

And judging by the early first-half score, he's not trying to lose with them, either.

Burfict was subject to significant league discipline for his actions in each of Cincinnati's past two games against the Steelers.

Multiple infractions in Week 14 landed him over $69,000 in fines, while a violent hit to the head of Antonio Brown in the opening round of the playoffs resulted in a three-game suspension.
