Eagles DT Ndamukong Suh still really doesn't like the Packers
While defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh might be playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, he's still a Detroit Lion at heart.
The likely Hall of Famer signed with the Eagles to help boost their Super Bowl run. During Sunday night's tilt with the Packers, Green Bay will get an unpleasant reunion with an old nemesis.
As it turns out, Suh still doesn't like Green Bay in the slightest.
Ndamukong Suh; “I dislike the Packers very much so. I have all the desire to get after that quarterback and create havoc against the offense.”

Suh's distaste for Wisconsin cheeseheads started in Motor City. With the Lions, Suh terrorized quarterback Aaron Rodgers from 2010-14. The defensive tackle has 5.5 sacks on Rodgers, but he said he hopes to add to that tally this week.
The Eagles could certainly use Suh's added incentive for getting after Rodgers. Philly has struggled a bit lately, losing to Washington and barely beating Indianapolis in its last two games.
Suh and fellow veteran defensive tackle Linval Joseph were brought in to give its defensive line a boost for the eventual playoff run.
However, the Eagles need help sooner than later. While they still hold onto the top seed in the NFC, it's a long way to January in NFL time.
With Suh still holding onto his old Lions/Packers rivalry, perhaps it'll be the spark Philly needs for a true get right game against Green Bay.
