"Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh took the high road when asked about the horse collar penalty he was tagged for during the fourth quarter of last weekend's loss to the Cowboys.

The penalty - replays showed Suh briefly grabbed the hair of Cowboys running back Marion Barber - gave the Cowboys a first down at the Lions 5-yard line instead of a third down at the 11.

"I mean his hair is long enough to go probably midway through his back, which is covering up his collar," Suh said. "If you go back on the replay, I just tugged it and then jumped on his back."

Suh said he apologized to Barber about the play."
