In case you didn't already know, the Chiefs are the most penalized team in the NFL with 143 calls going against them.  If we break it down to penalties per game, that's 8.41.  I thought I'd write a quick breakdown on the highly penalized team before the Patriots possibly benefit from a call Sunday night and people in 44 states lose their collective minds.
Phase of Game-
  • 17 Special Teams Penalties for 170 total yards
  • 69 Offensive Penalties for 567 total yards
  • 57 Defensive Penalties for 470 total yards
Kansas City only having 17 special teams penalties for a total of 170 yards is a bit surprising considering they like to return the ball as much as possible.  Looking at their penalties and recalling a missed block in the back on their 97 yard return against the Patriots does make you wonder how many other "missed" calls they may have benefitted from in special teams.

In case you haven't read it before, here's a look at which teams benefited the most from roughing the passer calls the past 5 seasons.
