Mike Preston: Terrell Suggs' hit on Sam Bradford was a cheap shot

Outside linebacker Terrell Suggs' hit on Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford Saturday night wasn't illegal, just a cheap shot.

The Ravens have tried to use the policy of the league and semantics to support Suggs, but the hit was unnecessary and unprofessional, just like his cheap shot tackle on Pittsburgh running back Le’Veon Bell last season.

I like Suggs. I like the way he clowns around and has fun. A team needs characters like him just as much as they need a bunch of tough guys, like guard Marshal Yanda.

But sometimes Suggs goes too far and the Ravens don’t have anyone who can tone him down.
