Ndamukong Suh’s knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time followed him to London.
The Miami Dolphins defensive tackle doesn’t have a squeaky-clean reputation in NFL circles, and a play in Sunday’s game against the New York Jets at Wembley Stadium certainly didn’t help his cause.
Suh was in hot pursuit of Ryan Fitzpatrick as the Jets quarterback dove out of bounds near the first-down marker. As he ran by, Suh’s foot struck Fitzpatrick’s head, knocking his helmet clean off.
Here’s another look of Fitzpatrick losing his helmet:
This play looks pretty unintentional, as Suh appears to be trying to slow down and doesn’t make any distinct kicking motion. Given the 28-year-old’s track record, though, we’re not ruling out anything.
Unfortunately, this little incident was the least of the Dolphins’ problems, as Miami fell 27-14 to drop to 1-3 and potentially put its coaching staff in jeopardy.
