What Penalties is

Penalties committed by the team. A steady drag on field position and on drives; discipline rather than talent.

Lower is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.

Through Week 6 of 2026, the Rams lead at 0; the league average is 7.27.
