Eric WinstonNdamukong Suh has taken heat this season following his low-block of John Sullivan and the NFL record fine that ensued.
But that apparently hasn't tempered his aggressive style of play.
ProFootballTalk.com found video of the Detroit Lions defensive tackle delivering a blow to Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Eric Winston.
The play in question occurs with around 9:30 remaining in the third quarter of last week's loss in Arizona. Quarterback Carson Palmer handed off to tailback Rashard Mendenhall, who cut right through the hole.
As he passed the line of scrimmage, Suh delivered the hook to the back of Winston's head.
This type of play occurs regularly, but they have a way of hitting the news cycle when they involve Suh because of his past sins. He's been fined six times in his career for questionable on-field plays, as well as suspended once.
Those fines have progressively escalated, peaking last week to a record $100,000 for the blow to Sullivan. The NFL was sending a message it won't tolerate Suh's questionable hits much longer.
But that threat doesn't appear to be slowing Suh much.
