I heard a guy on the radio today talking about how for the last 2 seasons the Seahawks have been the most penalized team in the league and made the SB both years. From a strict view penalties are cheating, pushing that line every play knowing the refs won’t penalize you every play is definitely seeking an advantage. I’m still not entirely convinced the balls were deflated but it’s an interesting tunnel to look at the situation through.
Of course, if you count the number of penalties, Seattle takes the crown.
surprisingly, if you look at penalty yardage, well that would be the patriots. and seattle is 4th.
