It might be a surprise to learn that Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict has admiration for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Burfict, who created much of the tension between the two teams this past season, said on Tuesday that when he plays Madden he typically rides with the Black and Gold.

Burfict's tweet was sent to his teammate linebacker Marquis Flowers, who responded by saying, "You crazy as hell bruh."

Facing a three-game suspension next season for hitting Steelers' Antonio Brown in the head with his shoulder pads, Bufict certainly knows how to stir up some controversy.
