For fans, it's too bad the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers won't play again this season. NFL officials are probably pretty happy. One of the NFL's most intense rivalries got really hot on Sunday night after Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs dove at the back of Steelers running back LeGarrette Blount's knees at the end of a play when it was pretty clear that was unnecessary. Was it dirty? The Steelers thought so. The
Ravens and Steelers scuffled for a few plays after that, until the
officials talked to both coaches to calm the situation. The NBC
announcers likened it to an umpire talking to both managers during a
beaning war in baseball. That seemed accurate.
I didn't see the play personally, but diving on someone's legs when they're standing, not expecting it, and when you can't touch them after a play is dead, I think that Terrell Suggs is in the wrong here. He should be fined because LeGarrette could've broken one or both of his legs!
