Everybody makes mistakes. But when the Falcons make mistakes to the tune of 16 penalties in a single game, it’s a bit much.
Through three games, the Falcons have committed 35 penalties. That places the team at the top of the NFL for this dubious distinction, where they are tied with the Cleveland Browns.
Look, folks, I probably don’t need to tell you that you don’t want to be tied with the Browns — a team that also holds titles in categories like “most ineffective quarterbacks started since 1999” and “most recent winless season” and “most squandered draft picks” — in any way, shape, or form.
