NFL Suspends Oakland Raider Vontaze Burfict For Rest Of Season Over Head-To-Head Hit

The NFL is suspending Oakland Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict for the rest of the season, following a dangerous play on Sunday. Burfict, who has a history of unnecessary roughness penalties, is seen here leaving the field in Indianapolis after his most recent ejection.

"The discipline marks the longest punishment ever handed down for an on-field act in NFL history," NFL.com states. Burfict has repeatedly violated unnecessary roughness rules during his career.
