It’s getting out of control. Seahawks right tackle Germain Ifedi leads the NFL with 11 penalties. “When I get a penalty I think, ‘Why ...’ ” Ifedi says, “but you don’t want to dwell on it.”
History is in their sight. All the Seahawks have to do is keep pace.
Just seven more weeks of holding, false starting and jumping offside, and they’ll have it — the most penalties in NFL history.
Through nine games, the Seahawks have had 94 flags thrown on them. At that rate, they’ll finish with 167 and break the 2011 Raiders’ record by four.
