Dean Blandino confirms Suggs hit on Bradford is not a foul

The Eagles were unhappy with Baltimore’s Terrell Suggs on Saturday for his hit to the knees of Sam Bradford. But the NFL says Suggs did nothing wrong.

NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino appeared on NFL Network this morning and said of Suggs’s hit, “It’s not a foul.”

The referee called roughing the passer on the play, but Blandino said the ref was mistaken and that he plans to communicate with all of the league’s officials this week to make sure they understand that quarterbacks are to be treated as runners unless they are clearly in a passing posture or clearly don’t have the ball.
