The Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t any gasoline poured on their already intense rivalry, but such was the case after a somewhat dirty hit was placed on Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell.
Bell, who suffered serious ligament damage to his leg is now out for the season, something that’s not sitting well with the Steelers – specifially linebacker Vince Williams.
The Steelers player tweeted to Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict – who made the tackle on Le’Veon Bell – threatening him in the process.
That tweet was deleted, but not before Burfict caught wind of it and responded back:

Oh – I’m sure the NFL is loving this. Two players on rival teams making bodily threats to each other.
Just when they thought they had finally swept the Greg Hardy situation under the rug…
