    Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict was fined $21,000 by the NFL on Friday for his hit Sunday on New York Jets wide receiver Stephen Hill with the crown of his helmet.

    Burfict was called for a personal foul, his fifth of the season, in the Bengals' 49-9 rout.

    SteveRobWhatever's Take: Number five, not good for Burfict. Those fines are going to start to really hurt now, so he better either clean up his game or start landing endorsement deals to soften the blow. Meanwhile, Stephen Hill has been treated like a damn pinata so far this year. It's amazing he's still in one piece.
