ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu , who has been fined three times for hip-drop tackle violations, said he feels like the NFL has a "target on my back."

But, he said, that won't change the way he plays.

"I play one way and that's the only way I know how to play -- that's fast, physical and downhill," Luvu said.

He had a one-game suspension overturned on appeal Tuesday, which he called a "relief, a weight off my shoulders."

Instead, Luvu was fined $100,000 for a tackle on Seattle Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba that the NFL deemed a hip-drop violation. It was his third violation this season, having been fined for tackles in Weeks 4 and 8, which is why he was initially suspended for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions .
