These helmet-kicking incidents seem to be following Ndamukong Suh.
Three weeks after the Dolphins defensive tackle was involved in a tackle at the end of which he kicked the helmet off the head of Redskins running back Alfred Morris, Suh struck again, according to CBS Sports.
NFL To Review Ndamukong Suh Kicking Off Redskins RB Alfred Morris' Helmet
Suh this time removed the helmet of Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick with his left leg on an out-of-bounds play during the team' game in London on Sunday.
The Dolphins defense flushed Fitzpatrick out of the pocket, and as he scrambled toward the right sidelines, Suh gave pursuit. Linebacker Koa Misi caught up to Fitzpatrick first as the quarterback was diving head first out of bounds toward the first-down marker, forcing Suh to have to try to jump over or around Fitzpatrick.
Dolphins Coach Joe Philbin Doesn't Deny Ndamukong Suh Hit On Alfred Morris Was Intentional
As Suh jumped his left leg made a circular motion, catching Fitzpatrick's helmet on the follow-through and knocking it off.
CBS Sports surmised that Suh's actions were not intentional.
"Honestly, this doesn't look like it was done on purpose," CBS Sports reported. "But when you've got Suh's history, it's tough to give the guy the benefit of the doubt."
USA Today Sports' For the Win was a little bit more accusatory, even if it used the same logic as CBS Sports.
"If this was any other player in the NFL -- literally any other than Suh, save for maybe Richie Incognito -- we could pretty easily chalk this up to coincidence," For the Win said. "We might just say that things like this happen in the run of play. But given Suh's penchant for kicking and stomping on people while they're down, the swing of his left leg after the play is over looks deliberate."
The NFL reviewed Suh's hit on Morris in the season opener and deemed it not to be intentional. Miami coach Joe Philbin briefly talked about the issue but never came out and said he believed Suh's hit was unintentional.
