DETROIT – The left cleat of Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh connected with Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in his groin area in their Thanksgiving game, which the Texans won 34-31 in overtime.
It wasnt clear on replays Thursday whether it was intentional.
I really dont have anything to say about that play or that person, Schaub said.
Suh was on his chest, taken down by an offensive lineman, when he extended his left foot below Schaubs belt. Suh didnt talk to reporters after the game.
Last year on Thanksgiving, Suh was ejected for stomping on the right arm of Green Bay offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith and was suspended for two games.
Suh has been fined in previous seasons for roughing up quarterbacks: Cincinnatis Andy Dalton, Chicagos Jay Cutler and Clevelands Jake Delhomme.
