--The NFL on Monday suspended Tampa Bay safety Dashon Goldson for one game without pay for his helmet-to-helmet hit against Falcons wide receiver Roddy White during Sunday's game.

Goldson was penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play, which came in second quarter. White was deemed to be a defenseless receiver under league player-safety rules.

It was Goldson's third violation of the 2013 season. He also struck a defenseless player against the New York Jets and was initially suspended for another helmet-to-helmet hit in Week 2 against New Orleans before the penalty was reduced on appeal to a $100,000 fine.
