Team Discipline – Stock: Down

The entire team gets a stock down in discipline. From players to coaches, the team’s inability to get through a game without being flagged a boat load is unacceptable.

The Steelers are the most penalized team in the league. They average 9.7 penalties per game and 88 penalty yards per game.
