Clearly intentional, not even a question really. First one was probably an accident but he felt himself on rodgers leg and took a step back to get it again and put weight on it.

 

He will get fined, but my guess would be no suspension. Maybe if this were week 10 theyd think about it but have a hard time seeing the NFL suspending him for a playoff game for anything short of a blatant suspendable act

According to sources, Suh is appealing the suspension and his appeal will be heard by Ted Cottrell.

If Suh's appeal is denied, it would mean Detroit would be without both of its first-round defensive tackle selections. Coach Jim Caldwell said Monday it would take "a miracle" for defensive tackle Nick Fairleyto play against the Cowboys. Fairley has not played or practiced since injuring his knee against Atlanta in Week 8.

 

If neither Suh nor Fairley is available, the Lions likely would start C.J. Mosley andAndre Fluellen or Jason Jones at the defensive tackle spots.

This isn't the first time Suh has had issues with Green Bay. He was suspended for two games in 2011 after stomping on the arm of then-Packers center Evan Dietrich-Smith. Suh was also fined $100,000 last season for an illegal low block on Minnesota center John Sullivan.

He has been fined for roughing up Cincinnati's Andy Dalton, Chicago's Jay Cutler, then-Houston quarterback Matt Schaub and then-Cleveland quarterbacks Jake Delhomme and Brandon Weeden.
