He was diving to where Cribbs' torso would be. Timmons hit Cribbs. Cribbs' body lowered in an attempt to churn out more yardage before going down. Harrison's head connected with Cribbs' head because his level lowered from the time Harrison started his move to when it ended. Therefore, incidental.

Still, he lead with the top of his head and no attempt to wrap. Why?

Steeler defensive players are taught that the 1st guy wraps up and the 2nd guy tries to dislodge the ball.

Giving him all benefit of the doubt, he still led with his head. I think that covers it.
