Bell: Burfict has 'gotta go' after kicking Steelers player

Geoff Burke / USA TODAY Sports

The rivalry between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals added another chapter Sunday, and Le'Veon Bell wasn't impressed with one part of it.

Cameras picked up what appeared to be Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict kicking Steelers fullback Roosevelt Nix in the head, leaving Bell upset when he later saw the video.

This isn't the first time Burfict has gotten into it with the Steelers, as he was suspended for the first three games of the 2016 campaign for a hit on Antonio Brown during the previous season's playoffs. The veteran linebacker was also suspended for the first three games this season for a hit during the preseason.

Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati 29-14 on Sunday.
