Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has been fined $20,000 for his illegal takedown of Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton on Friday, according to source with knowledge of the situation.
Suh grabbed Dalton high and threw him down with enough force to separate the quarterback from his helmet during Detroit’s 34-3 win. Dalton’s pass fell incomplete, and Suh was hit with a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty.
Suh has now been fined on three occasions for his rough style of play. The 2010 Defensive Rookie of the Year reacted to the latest fine with disbelief.
“$20,000REALLY???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #NFL #BIGFAIL,” he tweeted.
