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.
To be fairer Spikes never played in a playoff game. His teams always went to the playoffs a year or 2 after he left.
