I get that. But if what is being said is accurate, then logic would suggest there would be a considerable amount of calls assessed against the team as well. Again, 1 week sampling is not sufficient.

I see that last season the Chiefs led the NFL in penalties and penalty yards. That sure trashed their season, all the way up to the AFC Championship game.

BTW, Redskins were assessed 115 penalties and were 7th in the league in 2018 in penalties.
In 2017, you only had 92 penalties assessed and were one of the least penalized teams in the league and 27 other teams had more penalties called against them.
