For Denver’s Bye Week I traditionally take a look at seasonal trends in penalties, and how fouls are impacting the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are fairly average this year in penalties both for and against. Denver is getting called for more serious than its opponents, leading to a penalty yardage differential that is somewhat substantial. This is due to Denver earning a large number of deep pass interference calls. Otherwise, Denver has been fairly typical in penalties overall.
Offense
Denver has so far diverged from the league offensively in two penalties. Denver has been called for only half as many false starts as the typical team and has been called with twice the number of delay of game penalties as most teams.
