Suh Says Ryan’s Injury on Sunday was “Karma”

Ndamukong Suh is firing back at the Falcons, saying quarterback Matt Ryan’s brief injury Sunday was “karma” and hinting that Atlanta has been guilty of dirty play. Ryan was hurt in the third quarter of a 23-16 win over Suh’s Lions.

Atlanta players told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Suh and fellow defensive lineman Cliff Avril taunted the quarterback while he was down. Ryan tweaked a knee when offensive lineman Will Svitek stepped on his left ankle, but he came back in the game a short while later. Suh said: “To me it’s karma for all the bad stuff they’ve done in the past. Their offensive lineman hurt their own quarterback.”

Tomlinson: Jets bought into Ryan’s plan

One could argue the Jets have been successful in an area where many teams before them have failed: bringing in a collection of impressive individual pieces and making them work as a whole.

Over the last two seasons those pieces have included LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Cromartie, Santonio Holmes, Bart Scott, Braylon Edwards and Jim Leonhard, among others.

How have the Jets made it work?

During a sitdown with Fran Charles, Tomlinson answered that question in two words: Rex Ryan.

“One of the first things he talked about was everybody buying in and forgetting about individual success, and that it’s all about the team and the things we want to get accomplished here,” Tomlinson said. “Everybody bought in from day one, and I think you’re seeing the result of that.”
