Ndamukong Suh trying to avoid trouble on Thanksgiving
By Mike Dyce
Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is no stranger to getting in trouble. On the Thanksgiving Day game in particular, he finds himself in trouble pretty regularly.
As a rookie he was flagged for a personal foul against the New England Patriots. He was involved in a scrum and some pushing and shoving after a late extra point.
The following year was probably his most infamous incident. During the Thanksgiving Day game in 2011, he was ejected for stomping on Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith’s arm. That resulted in Suh being suspended for two games.
In last year’s Turkey Day game, he kicked Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin. Suh wasn’t suspended for that play, but he was fined $30,000.
Suh is looking forward to playing, and hopefully avoiding controversy or scandal. Suh is promising to play hard and help his team win.
“Man, hey, the only one that I was really in control of was the [stomp],” Suh said, via the Detroit Free Press. “Other than that, I can’t do much more. I’m just going to play hard, be aggressive and help my team win.”
