What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorESPN's Week 7 power rankings give all thirty-two teams one biggest offensive problem, and Baltimore's is the flag.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Ravens have been flagged thirty-one times, which is the worst in the NFL.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThirty-one flags. Is that a lot, or is that just football?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, it's a lot. Thirteen false starts and thirteen holding calls. I'm telling you, that's a crisis.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThirteen times somebody moved before the snap, thirteen times somebody grabbed a guy.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the offense is mostly the referee announcing what the offense did wrong?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorTackle Roger Rosengarten says when you're fighting behind the sticks, it's hard to get in a rhythm.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorBehind the sticks means the flag already landed and now you're third and fifteen.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFifteen what?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorYards, Kenji. Detroit's the other end of it: thirty-two point eight points a game, tied for most, and still twenty-second on third downs.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the Ravens are the only team that gets a replay of every play, from the referee.
