The league also is reviewing the conduct of other players and coaches during Pittsburgh’s 18-16 victory.

Marshall, the Jets receiver and an “Inside the NFL” regular, pressed Jones, the Bengals cornerback, on a number of topics connected to that chaotic finish of last weekend’s Steelers-Bengals playoff game.
In an appearance on 93.7 The Fan on Tuesday, Steelers lineman Ramon Foster said Burfict wasn’t the only one to spit on a Steelers player, however.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing the Denver Broncos in the divisional round of the playoffs on Sunday. “I’m not going to make a snap judgment on anything”, Quinn said, adding there’s no timetable to determine Caldwell’s future with the Lions. Porter was on the field because Steelers wideout Antonio Brown had just been knocked out by Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict, which cased another 15-yard penalty.
“What happened to Antonio Brown was a violent hit”, Kasdan said.
Jones’ comments don’t change the fact that the hit was a penalty and that Brown is in the concussion protocol.
Burfict will be suspended for three games at the start of the 2016 campaign for his decision to level Brown at the end of Saturday’s Wild Card tilt, the National Football League announced on Monday.
However, Steelers starting running back DeAngelo Williams seems less likely to play.
In my honest opinion, unless Roethlisberger recovers dramatically during the week, I believe that he should not try to take the field.
Jones said Monday that Brown should receive another award. “I think he needs a Grammy award for that one”. The two penalties moved the ball from the Cincinnati 47-yard line to the 17, and Chris Boswell made a 35-yard kick for the win. “Personally, I don’t think it is because I don’t think you can get out of the way fast enough”, Harrison said on NFL Network following the game, per Will Brinson of CBS Sports.

Jones left the locker room Saturday night without talking to reporters and then lashed out on social media, positing a video on his Instagram account.
