WATCH: Bengals' Vontaze Burfict ejected for contact with official image

Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict was ejected in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Titans.


After Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota ran for 8 yards and was pushed out of bounds at the Bengals' 1-yard line, Burfict was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. While arguing his case, he made contact with an official and was tossed.

Burfict had bumped Mariota after he was out of bounds, though the contact was minimal. 

As Titans fans taunted him while he was escorted to the locker room, Burfict gave the money sign. 

The Titans scored a play later to take a 14-6 lead. Tennessee were up 17-13 at halftime and held on for a 24-20 victory.
