ALL HAIL BLEERGH.
In tribute to Bleergh, here’s the week one’s best and worst penalties. Here’s a random breakdown of this weeks penalties. I’m not going to even try to find the tape for these, nor am I making any judgement call on the individual penalties. I’m sure that there are plays that should have been called and were not, and other plays where the penalty wasn’t needed, depending on your fandom.
Here are the best (in the eyes of Bleergh) penalties of the week:
| Team | Penalty | Result |
| SF |
Offensive Holding x 2 ILLEGAL FORMATION |
These nullified TD’s. |
| TB | Offensive Holding x 2 | These nullified TD’s. |
| NYJ | OPI | TD nullified |
| KC | Offensive Holding | TD nullified |
| PHI | Offensive Holding | TD nullified |
| LAC | UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS | Field goal nullified |
When looking through to see penalties with low yards, I found these plays with multiple flags. This pleases Bleergh. Here’s the official descriptions on the plays.
| KC | (SHOTGUN) 15-P.MAHOMES SACKED AT JAX 13 FOR -6 YARDS (91-Y.NGAKOUE). FUMBLES (91-Y.NGAKOUE) [93-C.CAMPBELL], RECOVERED BY KC-72-E.FISHER AT JAX 11. 72-E.FISHER TO JAX 11 FOR NO GAIN (36-R.HARRISON). PENALTY ON JAX-44-M.JACK, DISQUALIFICATION, OFFSETTING, ENFORCED AT JAX 7 – NO PLAY. PENALTY ON JAX-44-M.JACK, ILLEGAL CONTACT, OFFSETTING.

ALL HAIL BLEERGH.
testPassed
How about Petey actually getting a pass interference called via review?
Interested in seeing trends and officials’ emphasis over the course of the season.
i saw that holding calls are up up 30% or so. damn
and i counted with fingers and toes. not sure how to use a calculator
This was entirely due to Garret Bowles.
I’ll add the type of penalty to the next report
It’ll be really interesting to see how this changes over the course of a couple of weeks.
HAIL! And good hustle
