Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has made his share of enemies around the league for his dirty play, and now it seems his own team is fed up with his selfish behavior.
The Lions, expected to contend for a playoff berth this season, are 4-8 following Sunday's 35-33 loss to the Colts, and one anonymous Detroit player told Yahoo! Sports that Suh and others are hurting the team.
“Yeah, we're loaded," the player said. "But we have a couple of guys who don't understand what it takes to win. Just making a couple of plays and thinking that makes you great. … Sometimes you want to just shake some of these guys and say, 'Don't you get it?' "
Asked who in particular fell into that category, the player said, “Ndamukong would be first.”
Added the player: "He's focused for 90 percent of the time. But it's the 10 percent that kills you. … With [Suh], he loses his cool and all of a sudden we're blowing a play or dealing with some controversy.”
