Detroit is the dirtiest team in the NFL by a long shot

Had Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola thought a little more clearly and not stomped on an opponent Sunday, he'd be playing this week when the Lions go for their first division title since 1993.

But, he couldn't help himself. Raiola stomped on Chicago Bears defensive tackle Ego Ferguson's leg and earned a one-game suspension from the NFL, according to numerous reports. The Lions will be without one of their best players for a game against the Green Bay Packers that will decide the NFC North title.

Raiola tried arguing that he didn't mean to stomp on Ferguson, but that's pretty hard to believe when you see it.

"It was totally unintentional," Raiola said, according to ESPN.com's Michael Rothstein. "I remember I was stumbling out. I didn't see the end of it. I apologized at the end of the game, told him it was unintentional and we shook hands and that was it."

You gotta wonder if this guy is Ndamukong Suh's roommate or something.

Jimmy Clausen, who replaced Cutler in Week 16 amid a disastrous season, suffered a concussion and has been ruled out six days prior to playing the Minnesota Vikings.

The Cutler news comes via a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

So the Bears have an ugly situation that just turned (more) awkward again. Only fitting.

Clausen sustained the concussion on a helmet-to-helmet hit from Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah, which drew a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty, as Clausen scrambled on the Bears’ final drive of Sunday's game.
