“That was one of the best ones I’ve ever seen,” Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green said.

Burfict said he wasn’t trying to take advantage of the league’s relaxed rules on celebrations, he was thinking more about catching his breath.

“Honestly, I didn’t care about the celebration rule,” he said. “I was so tired. My legs were so tired. I was like, ‘I’m going to go up into the seats.’”

A few plays later Burfict injured his back and head while tackling Redskins wide receiver Terrelle Pryor. Burfict cleared concussion protocol but did not return to the game.
