The linebacker says the league contacted him in regards to his hit on Pittsburgh Steelers running back LeGarrette Blount on Sunday and it’s fair to speculate that a fine was the topic of conversation.

Suggs received significant criticism for his hit on Blount, which involved the linebacker diving at the running back’s legs from behind after Blount was already going down.

Multiple Steelers referred to Suggs as a “dirty player” following Pittsburgh’s 43-23 win, according to the Baltimore Sun.

"“I don’t know what [Suggs] was doing,” Blount said.  “I don’t know what he was thinking. He’s known to be a dirty player. As long as he does that he’s going to continue to have people come after him and do whatever we did to get in his head.”And Steelers offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert called it a dirty hit and predicted Suggs will be fined by the league office.“He should be getting a FedEx in the mail,” Gilbert told the Post-Gazette. “If he doesn’t, I’ll be very surprised and very disappointed. You don’t play football like that, especially when the play is already over. You don’t go back at a guy’s knees.”"

Suggs has racked up 26 tackles and 3.5 sacks this year.
