Q: Is Tom Brady joking when he says he gets favorable treatment from the officials?

TERRELL SUGGS: "He is telling the truth. I think certain quarterbacks do get certain favoritism in this league, and I think he's one of them. He's been a good player for so long, he's going to get that. So hopefully maybe I'll get that in years to come."

Q: Does it affect the way you play defense?

SUGGS: "No. We're an aggressive defense. We're going to play the way we play regardless. If the referees got a problem with the way we playing, tell them to change some more of them rules. We're going to continue to play the way we know."

Q: What will you do if a similar situations comes up like the one where you were flagged in New England three months ago?

SUGGS: "If it's legal, I'm going to run into the quarterback as fast as I can and as hard as I can. I'm not really concerned about about it. I've got to do my job. As long as it's legal, I'm going to do my job."

Q: Looking back at that play, what is your take on it?

SUGSS: "It's kind of iffy. They say err on the side of the quarterback. What I would say to my teammates is, let's not put it in the hands of the referees. We'll play our style and play physical."

Q: Do you think it's more about protecting the quarterbacks like Brady and Peyton Manning?

SUGGS: "I think it might be a little bit of both. I think they're definitely protecting Brady and Peyton, and some other people in the league, maybe even Drew Brees. I think [Brady] got hurt last year, and the front office didn't like that. So they're trying to do everything they can to protect him any way they can."
