The suspension was reduced to a fine after Suh contended during the appeal that he didn’t realize he had stepped on Rodgers because his feet were frozen. Then there was a 2011 game at Detroit when Suh drew a suspension for stomping on then-Packers center Evan Dietrich-Smith.
More recently, Suh drew a roughing-the-passer flag during the Bucs win in Week 6 that included another round of what’s become typical trash-talk between the two. Rodgers contended this week that he doesn’t expect much conversation on Sunday. But that remains to be seen. With the high stakes, Suh, a key cog in Tampa Bay’s No. 1-ranked run defense and still plenty capable of collapsing the pocket from the inside, will be hell-bent on trying to get the NFL’s likely MVP off his game.
