– Denver Broncos safety Kareem Jackson said he’s flying to New York to meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday to get more clarity about his latest suspension and the way the league enforces its player safety rules.

“For me, I see a lot of the same things happening around the league where guys aren’t going through what I’m going through — no flags, no fines, no suspensions,” Jackson said Tuesday night in his first public comments since drawing his second suspension last week.Photos: Cowboys players, fans react to a disappointing, season-ending loss  to the 49ers

“I’m not really sure why I’m being treated the way I’m being treated. I’m making regular football plays, nothing malicious in my opinion,” Jackson said. “I just want to know why I’m the only person going through what I’m going through.”

The NFL on Wednesday declined to comment on the prospective meeting.

Jackson, who’s in his 14th NFL season, has been suspended by the league for six games this season, ejected from two others and been fined $89,670 for four illegal hits.

That makes him the league’s leader in fines and game checks lost. He’s missed three games so far and will miss three more, costing him a total of $837,000 in lost wages.

He drew his second suspension for a hit on Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs on his first tackle upon his return from his first suspension two weeks ago. Both times he was suspended for four games but his first one was cut in half on appeal.

Jackson said he wants to ask the commissioner for advice on avoiding future flags, fines and suspensions because he said he’s playing like he always has and doesn’t think he’s crossed the line. Previously, he’s said he knows he’s drawing extra scrutiny from the league for his spate of fouls.
