Brown didn't have the ball, and Burfict was going for the big hit regardless of brown or the ball.
Nothing wrong with going for the hit, as long as the target area is proper. The play was close enough that it wouldn't have been a problem minus the head shot. The ball was off Brown's hands and Burfict took one full step before contact.
Reggie Nelson was in the same situation with Owen Daniels a couple weeks before. Proper hit right as the ball arrives. No flag.
