Ndamukong Suh has had quite a week. After being suspended by the NFL for stepping on Aaron Rodgers’ ankle during the game on Sunday, Suh eventually won his appeal with the NFL for the act. Instead of a game suspension for the wildcard game, Suh instead has to pay a hefty $70K fine.
During his appeal process, Suh blamed the cold in Green Bay for his actions saying that his feet were numb and he wasn’t able to tell the difference between Rodgers’ feet and the frozen tundra that the Packers field has affectionately come to be known as. Whether you choose to believe Suh or not is irrelevant because clearly the NFL agreed that he had a point.
During appeal, Ndamukong Suh said his feet were numb from cold and he couldn't tell difference between Aaron Rodgers' feet and the ground.
