In the Premier League, five yellows mean a 1-game suspension.  One red is a 1-game suspension, and two yellows same game = a red.
Their threshold for yellow cards is fairly low - a mild personal foul, arguing with the ref, taunting, stuff like that.  Matthews' hit would have equated to a red card.  So would Suh's stomp on Rodgers' calf.
If that doesn't slow the player down, he's soon hauled in front of a disciplinary board, to explain why he should stay in the league.  If he does a good job arguing, he only misses like 8 games.
Somebody tell me, in 1-syllable words, why the NFL doesn't implement something similar?  Would cut into the injuries quite a ways.
