A suspension was certainly expected. I’m not sure anybody thought it’d be for the next 12 games and any potential postseason run made by the Raiders.
Clearly, this is a major sign that Roger Goodell and the league are done playing games when it comes to head injuries.
It’s also just the latest suspension in a long line of them for Burfict. The man is constantly in trouble.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this was the end of the line for Burfict’s career. Banning him for the whole season is a pretty clear sign that the league’s had enough of his antics.
This wasn’t his only issue this season! He threw a punch earlier in the year.

Good riddance, Burfict! The league has had enough and so have the fans!
