Detroit Lions defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh has been fined $15,000 by the NFL after drawing an unnecessary roughness penalty for a hit on Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler last weekend. Suh says he plans to appeal. The penalty came in the fourth quarter Sunday when Suh sent Cutler to the ground with what appeared to be a hard shove to the upper back after the quarterback ran for 8 yards. Referee Ed Hochuli called the play "an unnecessary non-football act." Lions coach Jim Schwartz disagreed with the call. read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5899703
I think if a player is fined, the player he committed the foul on to get fined; should scrap it out. Or maybe just for this case.
Bullshit. I'm so sick of the protecting the QB rules. Cutler was on the run, he becomes a runner. Take a fuckin' hit.
