Every year, the NFL closes their eyes, spins around three times, and throws a dart at a rule to emphasis. Their pick for 2024? Illegal formations, cracking down on those cheatin’ offensive tackles trying to line up off the line of scrimmage as far as possible to combat the game’s top EDGE rushers.

In the first half alone, Baltimore was flagged for illegal formation four times. Three of them against LT Ronnie Stanley for aligning too deep along the formation, a penalty for not having the required seven players on the line.
