MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh is making headlines again for reportedly kicking yet another player.

This time around, Suh is accused of nailing Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the knee.

The Steelers find the fourth quarter kick especially flagrant considering Big Ben had limped off the field early in the game due to a knee injury.

It later came out that Roethlisberger had torn his meniscus.

The Steelers are so furious with Suh that they've decided to file a formal complaint with the NFL over the kick, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The lineman who was trying to block Suh, David DeCastro, told the Post-Gazette that Roethlisberger went back to the huddle and specifically pointed out that Suh had kicked him.

Suh's time with the Lions won't help his case.

While in Detroit, he was fined multiple times and suspended for dirty tactics.

In 2014, he was even caught stomping on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' ankle.

The league suspended him for one game over that incident, but it was later overturned and he instead paid a $70,000 fine.

On Roethlisberger's end, his legs will have plenty of time to heal as he's expected to miss 4-6 weeks after undergoing surgery on his torn meniscus.
