1  Antonio Brown's head was not aligned with his body, so kind of hard to judge where to hit him.

2  Play was clearly over?  Burfict lowered his shoulder while Brown was in the air and going for the ball, which it ricocheted off of his hands only a second before Burfict got there.

3  How would Burfict have known he wasn't going to catch the ball in the split-second it went off his hands and Burfict's head was already lowered?

4  Of course Burfict lowered his shoulder.  That's one of the first things you're taught to do in football.  How else could he have made the tackle?  Stood straight-up and let Brown plow into his chest?

Bad post.
