Bears quarterback Justin Fields was exasperated when officials didn’t flag Eagles DT Ndamukong Suh for hitting him in the head on his slide at the end of a seven-yard run in the first quarter Sunday, and he’ll be a little more irritated to learn the NFL issued no discipline.
The league did not fine Suh for the hit, a source said.
“There’s just been too many times where I’ve slid and [been] hit too late and I don’t get the flag,” Fields said this week when asked specifically about that play. “I’m going to be on the refs looking for a call ... I’m going to be begging for those calls and just hope I get one — one — in the near future.”
Suh has a long history of being flagged and fined for egregious hits, including a $15,000 penalty for unnecessary roughness against Bears quarterback Jay Cutler in 2010. He has been fined nearly $700,000 in his career.
