ALLEN PARK, Mich. Patrick Kerney Jersey . -- Amid yet another flap over his on-field conduct, Ndamukong Suh is making some accusations of his own. The Detroit defensive lineman said Monday that Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryans brief injury against the Lions was "karma" and hinted that the Falcons have been guilty of dirty play. 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 and helped Atlanta beat the Lions 23-16 on Sunday. "To me its karma for all the bad stuff theyve done in the past," Suh said. "Their offensive lineman hurt their own quarterback." Atlanta players told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution after that game that Suh and fellow defensive lineman Cliff Avril taunted Ryan while he was down. "I had respect for Suh before the game," centre Todd McClure said. "But when Matt was on the ground, the things he was saying and the trash he was talking was definitely uncalled for. There are certain things you dont do. (He said), Get the cart and several other things that I cant repeat." Wide receiver Roddy White said he lost respect for both Suh and Avril. Avril didnt talk to reporters when Detroits locker room was open Monday, but Suh did -- an unusual occurrence because he usually talks on Wednesdays. "Theres many, many, many plays that I can go back to on film that I watched all week that their offensive line has done, that theyve been coached to do, as far as I know," Suh said. "Its not anything thats not been said. Its not anything thats new. Those are things that theyre taught to do." In about a season and a half with the Lions, Suh has already been hit with his share of fines for roughing up quarterbacks. He went on the offensive Monday -- with the Falcons as his target. "I can go back," Suh said. "Theres like a 13-15 play clip reel that we have that shows everything theyve done. Thats not even counting our game." Suh wasnt specific about what he was accusing Atlanta of, but Detroit linebacker Stephen Tulloch went into a bit more detail. "If you watch the film, look across the Falcons offensive line," Tulloch said. "They are late, cheap-shot guys who have been doing it ever since Ive been playing against them, back when I was with Tennessee. They are chop-block guys. You watch the film and they are a real dirty team when it comes to the offensive line." Suh also defended himself against the accusations of taunting Ryan. "At that particular time, when hes on the ground, theres nothing that I have to say to him," Suh said. Not many Falcons were available Monday following their victory, but defensive lineman Corey Peters addressed the incident. "I dont know. I wasnt out there. I believe our guys and what they said. I think thats uncalled for, personally," Peters said. "I would never do that. To see somebody on the ground injured, it could be seriously injured, you dont know at the time. ... I dont know what was said. I dont really want to get into it unless I know for sure what he said, but if he said it, it was uncalled for." Atlanta coach Mike Smith downplayed the controversy. "Theres a lot of things said between the sidelines and know this: That was a physical, tough football game between two, I think very aggressive, teams -- probably the most physical game that weve played to this point," Smith said. This is the second straight week the Lions are involved in a contentious aftermath to a game. Detroits Jim Schwartz had to be separated from San Franciscos Jim Harbaugh the previous weekend after the two coaches were involved in an emotionally charged postgame handshake. Suh concluded his remarks Monday with a dismissive shot at one of the players who criticized him. "Do I need Rodney (sic) Whites respect? No," Suh said. "Leave it at that." James Carpenter Jersey . In the eyes of Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, the two-time defending NBA champions pretty much botched the whole thing. Cliff Avril Jersey . But the left-hander knows that getting to this point -- nearly two years removed from shoulder surgery -- was anything but easy.HAMILTON, Ont. -- The only role that the Hamilton Bulldogs have left to play is that of the spoiler, and on Saturday, they nearly made victims of the Rochester Americans. Phil Varone scored the shootout winner as the Americans overcame a third-period collapse for a crucial 4-3 win against the Bulldogs in American Hockey League action. Hamilton head coach Sylvain Lefebvre said he was pleased with his teams performance, even if it came in a losing effort. "Kudos to the guys, because although we came up short, it was great to see them show some grit and fight back against a team that needed those points," he said. Colton Gillies, Kevin Porter and Brady Irwin scored in regulation for the Americans (35-27-10), who extended their lead on the ninth-place Charlotte Checkers to three points in the Western Conference playoff race. Andrey Makarov made 35 saves for Rochester. Connor Crisp, Joonas Nattinen and Gabriel Dumont had goals for the Bulldogs (32-35-7) and Robert Mayer stopped 38 shots. Varone skated in slowly and out-waited Mayer before sliding the puck in at the far post. All three Rochester skaters scored in the shootout, while all three Hamilton attempts were denied by Makarov. The first quality chance in regulation time was by the Bulldogs five minutes into the first period, as the combination of Christian Thomas and Sven Andrighetto had several opportunities to shovel the puck past Makarov at point-blank range. But the Rochester goaltender successfully fought through a crowd to kick their weak shots aside. A burst of speed from Andrighetto paved the way as Hamilton opened the scoring at 15:01 of the first period. He raced past the defender along the right wing and managed to get a low shot off that Makarov could only kick into the path of the supporting Crisp, who easily slotted the puck into the gaping net. Just over two minutes later, the Americans tied it when Tim Schaller gloved down a clearing attempt by Nathan Beaulieu and found Gillies unmarked in the low slot. The forward had plenty of time and space in which to operate, and chipped a high shot over Mayers far shoulder at 17:077. Byron Maxwell Jersey. Rochester capitalized on a strange bounce to take the lead just 11 seconds into the second period. A routine dump-in play by Matt McKenzie turned into something more when the puck ricocheted off a stanchion behind Mayers net and slid to Porter in front. He scored easily with Mayer scrambling to recover his position. Rochester doubled its lead at 7:08 of the period when Schaller received a centring pass and fired a low slap shot that Mayer knocked to his left, where Irwin was waiting to slot the puck in from close range. Despite trailing by two goals, the Bulldogs crucially killed two penalties, a 5-on-3 midway through the second and a double-minor to end the period, to keep the possibility of a comeback alive. "Penalty kills are always huge, when you can escape, especially the four-minute call," said Crisp. "We got some help there with the penalty against Rochester, but since Ive been with this team, our penalty killing has been really good." The Bulldogs closed to within a goal early in the third period, when Nattinen and Jack Nevins combined to overpower the Americans in the low slot. After Nevins outmuscled two Rochester defenders to get a backhanded shot on net, Nattinen gathered the loose puck and out-waited Makarov before lifting a high shot over his near shoulder at 5:07. Nattinen spoke highly of his young linemate, who he believes to have all the tools to succeed in the AHL. "(Nevins) seems like a really good player," he said. "You can see though, that hes used to playing bigger minutes. Hes good with the puck and makes good decisions. "He can definitely play in this league." Dumont completed the Bulldogs comeback at 10:56, springing a 2-on-1 break alongside Louis Leblanc and deciding to keep the puck, before snapping a hard wrist shot high and past Makarov at the far post. Hamilton piled the pressure on Rochester in the final minutes of the third, and it took the considerable effort of Makarov, and his left post, to send the game to extra time. Hamilton was 0-for-2 on the power play while Rochester went 0-for-4. cheap jerseyscheap jerseys from china ' ' '
