The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line ranks near the top of the league in terms of pre-snap and procedural penalties. That includes what is no longer a league-leading six ineligible downfield pass penalties called against them, of which five were accepted. The Miami Dolphins now have seven such infractions, with five accepted.
Why so many, when no team had more than six all of last season? Nobody has had more than seven in recent years, which almost undoubtedly means that no team ever has had more than seven in a single season. And there’s still half a season to play.
