Thanks for reading, John. I absolutely agree that it should have been roughing the passer - as should have at least two other plays made on McCown based on what they called against Derek Barnett.

Sorry Mark, I was out when I originally saw this and forgot to respond. My opinion at the time was that Burnett has prior NFL experience and the team did not have the luxury of taking a risk - they needed someone to play right away. After seeing what he was able to do against the Giants (a performance better than what most of the original group of receivers has given all season) I think it is pretty obvious that the staff saw Burnett doing just that in practice and thought he was the more viable option to assist Wentz.
