Another week led to another roughing the passer penalty on the Green Bay Packers — and Clay Matthews, specifically. The Packers lead the league in roughing the passer penalties with five and Matthews has as many (3) as any other team.
As of Sunday night, the NFL is on pace to shatter last year’s record of 107 roughing the passer penalties for an entire season. Excluding the Monday night game, there have already been 29 roughing the passer penalties and that puts the league on pace for 164 for the entire year. I’m all for player safety and any quarterback injury will be a massive loss, as we saw last year, but this is getting ridiculous.
