Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh must have different rules for him. He was just fined $31k for a hit that he laid on Cleveland Browns QB Brandon Weeden.
Here is a photo of the shot that he is getting fined for:

I guess Ndamukong Suh is not allowed to tackle people. He needs to stop putting his hands on people and putting them on the ground.
Suh has a history of making violent hits that have costed him all kinds of money. Everyone knows that Ndamukong is going to lay out a hard hit when he gets to the ball carrier, but the amount of money that they are taking out of his pocket-book for a hit like this is ridiculous.
Let him play the game. That hit is legal and you can get that money from him when he actually does something illegal later.
