Burfict just made a planned shoulder hit to the chest, but when Brown landed he went down further than expected and it resulted in a head hit. I still to this day do not think the hit specifically to the head was intentional.
Where the play happened was right inside the 35 yard line, which would have given the Steelers a 1st down and close enough for a FG, so allowing Brown to catch and then make the tackle was essentially out of the question.
Yeah, I don't think that Burfict meant to hit Brown in the head specifically. He did intentionally hit him, though, and he was well aware that Brown wasn't catching that ball. It just goes back to him not fitting in the modern era - it was completely unnecessary.
