I don't see him stumbling into him as some have said he does, but you can't blame the guy for biting on a fake. He went as low as possible. The NFL doesn't want shots to the head. This is what they will get. He apologized immediately. Did Burfict ever do that on any of his other notorious hits? It doesn't look like there is a lot of force or malice to me on that hit. Easy for me to say... I'm not he one getting hit in he back of my legs by a guy weighing a deuce and a half.

Follow link, watch video at about 20 seconds in. Watch his left foot, he takes a very awkward step/stumble where just the tip of his shoe touches and he falls forward into Bennett. It's not much but it definitely affected the angle he hit Bennett and prevented him from being able to pull up.
