Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Breiden Fehoko is not happy with Steelers' right guard Brock Hoffman . He believes Hoffman committed a dirty act in last Sunday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
"How is buddy not suspended for 6 games? This is dirty as s***," Fehoko wrote on X.
A clip of Hoffman diving at Bengals defensive end Cashius Howell's knee went viral on Saturday. It appeared Hoffman was trying to tackle safety Jordan Battle after an interception, but Battle was already on the ground at the time of Hoffman's dive that could have seriously injured Howell. While I highly doube it was intentional, it certainly did not look good on tape.
Hoffman was not fined for the dangerous act.

Hoffman's dive wasn't the only incident from the Bengals game. Bengals fans were also very vocal about their displeasure with Steelers ' left guard Mason McCormick 's leg lift on Bengals' star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence during last Sunday's game.
"I'm sure you've seen this first clip, but Mason McCormick was doing this all game. New technique or illegal?" Joe Goodberry of Locked on Bengals wrote on X.
Goodberry, who narrates the breakdown of the video, says McCormick's move might be illegal and is almost certainly dangerous.
Goodberry compares it to the idea of an illegal chop block, where one offensive lineman engages with a defender high and the other O-lineman goes low.

Cleveland Browns star edge rusher Jared Verse also had some choice words for the Steelers' offensive line after Thursday night's win . Verse thinks the Steelers' O-line was playing dirty.
"I was talking to them crazy. I was telling them, 'You're double-teaming, y'all sliding, y'all garbage.' I don't got no respect for anybody that plays too dirty and does too much extra s*** after the game," Verse said. "I can't wait to see them again. It's going to be a good time when I see them again."
