For those curious to know where GRT got this info, here are a couple good links to read:

I'm all for safety, but unfortunately it seems that a shot to the head has now been expanded to just a "hard hit". Not all hits that lay a guy out are innately more dangerous. Burfict said that he helped the guy up, he said he was ok and it was legal. If it is a legal hit and within the rules, how hard a defender hits an opposing player should be irrelevant.
