ALL HAIL BLEERGH.
In tribute to Bleergh, here’s the Divisional weekend best and worst penalties. Here’s a random breakdown of this weeks penalties. I’m not going to even try to find the tape for these, nor am I making any judgement call on the individual penalties. I’m sure that there are plays that should have been called and were not, and other plays where the penalty wasn’t needed, depending on your fandom.
Here are the best (in the eyes of Bleergh) penalties of the week:
| Team | Penalty | Result |
| NO | Offensive Holding | This nullified a TD. haha |
| LA | DPI | 16 yard penalty |
| LA | Unnecessary Roughness | 15 yard penalty |
| IND | Unsportsmanlike Conduct | 15 yard penalty |
| KC | DPI | 14 yard penalty |
| IND | Defensive offside | 5 Yard penalty, but revered an interception. |
Here are the worst (in the eyes of Bleergh) penalties of the week. Not much fun this week.
| Team | Penalty | Result |
| NO | DPI | 4 yards |
| A bunch at 5 yards |
For multiple penalties, there’s no update this week. I wasn’t able to find a list this week, so am doing this from game sheets, which is a total PITA. I’ll have a look at the regular season during the Superb Owl bye week to make it up to ya.
| Player – Team | Number of penalties | Total yards |
| n/a |

I love this series. Also, I was going to make a joke about the referee in the NE-LAC game, but I have enough women that hate me already.
Wow! That’s interception must have been one hell of a catch for an Offsides penalty to deeply respect and admiration for it.
I’m not sure how true this is, but it certainly seemed the vast majority of the penalties against the Patriots happened after halftime (i.e. after it didn’t matter anymore).
yup
I’ll try to remember to do splits by halfs for the conference games as there won’t be much.
