Come on dude. He was the second player to the receiver, he could have pulled up, but took two steps and lowered his shoulder into the head of a defenseless receiver; that's the rule, whether you like it or not. The other play was not a penalty, because as soon as the receiver turned and took two steps, he was a runner, and is equated to being a running back. Learn the game, it wasn't selective enforcement, it was proper enforcement.

Full disclosure, Tampa Bay fan who has hated the Steelers forever, because my Pennsylvania mom was an Eagles fan, so unless you wanted to be forced to eat scrapple, you hated the Steelers!

Learn the game? It is not alright to go helmet to head on a receiver after he catches the ball and takes two steps. He can run twenty yards and it IS STILL illegal to ram your helmet into his jaw.

Hitting with a helmet is not allowed in the game today. Hell, in college it’s an immediate ejection. How is that not a penalty but the burfect hit is? The game is concerned about concussions, but helmet to helmet is not a concern on this play? Makes no sense. Burfect probably should get a penalty there but this type of play happens half a dozen times a week. He led with a shoulder and simply came in late. He should have pulled up, but it’s a millisecond difference. Not a crime of the century. It’s ridiculous to see all this fake outrage. a shoulder to the head might get called 50% of the time.
