Notable
Let the flags fly! This week pairs two of the most penalize teams in the NFL (Jets t30th with 23 flags) and the Lions (25th with 19 flags) with one of the most flag-happy crews in the NFL and Brad Rogers. Lots of False Starts, Offensive Holding and Defensive Holding will likely be called. Check out their stats below, as they are above the norm in every category other than home team penalty count which should be good for the Lions.
The last time the Lions saw Rogers crew was Week 18 victory over the Bears in Chicago, but they only threw 10 penalties, whereas last week ion the CLE/TB game, they threw 18 total flags. This crew is 100% intact from last season, so expect more of the same this week.
Jets WR Isiah Williams is their most penalized with 3, but it's for a variety of issues while LB David Bailey is susceptible in coverage it appears. With the Lions, CB Rock Ya-Sin and OT Larry Borom are the guiltiest parties, with 3 penalties each in the first two games. No other Lion has more than 1.
