Vontaze Burfict: Cincinnati Bengals linebacker ejected for making contact with official

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict may be in trouble with the NFL again after being ejected in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.

Burfict was part of a pileup near the left corner of the end zone on Marcus Mariota's 8-yard run to the 1. Following the play, Burfict made contact with an official and was immediately booted by referee Jeff Triplette.

On the next play, Tennessee's DeMarco Murray scored on a 1-yard plunge for a 14-6 lead with 5:08 left in the half.

Burfict, who drew a personal foul a few plays prior to his ejection for a late hit on Murray out of bounds, has been fined and suspended on multiple occasions in his career for unsportsmanlike conduct and late hits.
