The NFL said Terrell Suggs’ hit on Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford on Saturday was legal, and that the game’s officials erred in flagging Suggs for a roughing penalty.
But the ruling did little to quell the firestorm over the hit.
To some, the hit was late and unnecessary, especially considering Bradford is recovering from knee surgery and the game was a preseason matchup.
To others, the league’s ruling offered enough validation.
On the Eagles’ sixth snap of their preseason game with the Ravens, Bradford handed the ball off to Darren Sproles.
