Two things were clearly reinforced during Sunday's game between the Bengals and Patriots: Rob Gronkowski is the best tight end in the NFL when healthy, and if Vontaze Burfict sees an opportunity to take a cheap shot, he will.
In the fourth quarter with the Bengals trailing 28-17, Burfict decided to add to his long résumé of dirty play. This time he dove at the back of Martellus Bennett's knee.
There's no room for discussion here. This is a dangerous hit that could have seriously injured Bennett.
