I just stumbled across an interesting site that tracks penalties. This means I won’t have to count on Steelers Depot to do it for me anymore, or search through their archives.

Looking for the Twitter feeds? Sorry, they have been removed. Now that Elon Musk has thoroughly murdered Twitter, those feeds no longer function properly. They were also dragging down the performance of the site.

Thanks for the link. I added it to the “Other Interesting Places” section below the RSS feeds.
Here’s an interesting stat. Baltimore gained the most yards (736) in the league from opponent’s defensive penalties. This represents approximately a 10% boost in Baltimore’s offensive yardage.
The biggest beneficiary of defensive pass interference was… wait for it… Baltimore. They averaged close to one per game. They were also the biggest beneficiary of neutral zone infractions and personal fouls.
Actually there was a three way tie among teams who most benefited by defensive pass interference. You will not be shocked to find that the three teams collecting the most PIs against them were Baltimore, Denver, and New England, with 14 each (though Denver and New England have played one more game). Meanwhile, the Steelers collected only 4.
Nice find, Benni, thanks for sharing…drilling through it, I noticed how little the illegal crackback block is enforced–either I misinterpret the rule, or it is poorly enforced…much like the new RB rule that states he cannot lead with the helmet beyond the allowable parameters–implemented just to satisfy the courts
