Baltimore and DPI. Stats say yes!

So, I found this nice site for penalties.

Of course I had the bright idea to look at Defensive Pass Interference. Guess what? The stats going back to 2012 show our "Good Friends" Baltimore being the top team in benificiary calls. Of course you see New Englend and Indianapolis there, but you can't deny that the stats say thats something they use regularly. Particularly during their Superbowl run.

 

orgot to add that a look at the yards gained is probably even more telling.

 

I didn't open the link, and what you say may very well be the truth (I generally don't watch Ravens games) but you can't come to that conclusion based on those numbers alone. Stats don't tell the whole story.

If Baltimore gets twice the PI calls that Pittsburgh does but is throwing deep twice as much (which is where most PI calls result from), then based on a percentage of deep balls, they're getting the same number of flags we are. Get what I'm saying?

You're not going to get too many PI calls on a 10 yard pass, most are going to come on 20+ yard throws. So how many times has Flacco gone deep compared to other QB's in the league? If it's a lot more, then more flags should be expected. I'd like to see how many PI flags are called based on a percentage of attempts over 20 yards. That to me would be more telling of what's actually happening out there

 

I thought that might be a better indicator, but based on approximate number of calls and looking the closest in number, the yards are way off.
