If you watch the full video, which is in slow motion, you'll see that Burfict's momentum clearly carried him into the camera. He naturally used his hands to soften the impact. You would instinctively do the same thing if you were thrown against a wall, a heavy object, or the ground in an instant. There was nothing intentional about it.

Burfict wasn't even running full speed to cover the receiver. When he looked up he had about 5 yards and took three strides before running into the camera. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for running into the camera, but believe he could have avoided contact with the camera altogether if he wanted. He is a professional football player afterall.
