He was "an aggressive player who plays with passion" on this particular play, nothing more. :mrgreen:.

The ball was also no where around him from what I've heard?

Suh, a Detroit defensive tackle, was called for an illegal low block against Minnesota center John Sullivan during an interception return Sunday. The Lions won the game 34-24.

Suh said he wasn't going after Sullivan's knees, adding the two spoke about it at halftime. Sullivan said the hit was part of the game and it was penalized ...

If you watch the video, it was nothing more then a defensive player blocking the nearest offensive player on an interception, even Sullivan (MIN) recognizes that fact and I would have thrown the same block. Suh makes a conscience effort to get his head around the front of Sullivan (MIN) and makes initial contact in the hip/thigh region.

I'm for throwing-a-player-under-the-bus as much as the next fan, but $100,000? This is clearly the league trying to make an example of a player, similar to how they were over-zealous in their punishment of the Saints.
