Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict may hate the Pittsburgh Steelers, but when it comes to video games, he enjoys Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell.

Burfict, who was suspended three games for his vicious hit on Brown at the end of the playoff loss to the Steelers, tweeted to teammate Marquis Flowers that his bitter AFC North rivals are his team of choice when he plays "Madden NFL 16."

Burfict also racked up nearly $70,000 in fines for three separate infractions against the Steelers in their Week 14 meeting. Judging from his screenshot, playing as the Steelers is paying off for him in a different way.
