If you look close you will see that Craig got up, and then fell on top of Middlebrooks. He didn't initially trip over Middlebrooks until after he fell the first time with no help from anybody.

I've watched the play and all the slow-motion replays probably 20 times at this point and I can't see how Craig's right knee contacts Middlebrooks at all.
As far as the trip, you will see when Craig starts to turn his head he movies his right foot forward, trying to start running. This foot catches on Middlebrooks' left leg. When your weight is leaning forward like Craig was and your foot catches, you can't help but trip. That's what I see.
