The Falcons had just been called for a costly pass-interference penalty with Atlanta clinging to a seven-point lead late in Sunday's game against Detroit.
Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is a dirty player? The issue has been written about and talked about so frequently that every play he is involved in now will be scrutinized and analyzed — and so will his words on the field.
MLB Stephen Tulloch accused the Falcons' offensive line of taking cheap shots at several of the Lions' defensive linemen. "If you watch the film, look across the Falcons' offensive line, they are late, cheap-shot guys who have been doing it ever since I've been playing against them," he said.
Ndamukong Suh reacted angrily to accusations by Falcons players that he and DE Cliff Avril taunted and kicked at QB Matt Ryan after he sustained an ankle injury in the third quarter.

Suh said, "I wasn't even near their QB, how am I gonna talk trash a player who has a training staff all around him?"
ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that the surgery went well and doctors believe "all of (the) tumor was removed."
After the Falcons stopped Detroit 23-16 on Sunday, word filtered from Atlanta's locker room that Lions defensive linemen Ndamukong Suh and Cliff Avril taunted quarterback Matt Ryan after he appeared to suffer a serious ankle injury.
Matthew Stafford was in a familiar position: outstretched, doctors and trainers peering and poking, people watching while holding their breath.
Maurice Morris and Keiland Williams each carried the ball nine times for a combined 94 yards and no negative yardage runs.
What looked to be a relative breather for the Lions -- a quick trip to Denver before a bye week -- suddenly looms as a pivotal test.
Matt Ryan went to the sideline with a worrying injury, then came back a few plays later to lead his team.
I was very disappointed at the Lions performance. Very. I think the Falcons are a solid team, but nothing special, and this was a very winnable game.
