    Hmm. I read a scientific study once that figured out teams wearing black or red draw significantly more penalties/fouls in sports than teams wearing light colors. By that logic, it's no surprise to see Oakland, Baltimore or SF up there, but I'm surprised we're not higher on the list.

    It also sure seems like I've seen us get called for a ton of the penalties that you almost never see - clipping, tripping, leaping, fair catch interference, illegal fair catch signal, etc.

    I also have a hard time believing that only 4 kickoffs went out of bounds in 4 years across the whole league.

    Yeah that doesn't sound right, seems like I just saw two of them in games just this past weekend.

    That is amazing about the colors affecting calls.

    ....and I thought the same thing on the out of bounds kickoffs....just 4?????

    Something is obviously wrong with these stats. How could 4 KO out of bounds only result in 7 penalty yards or how could 1 Face Mask (5 yards) be 13 penalty yards
