Which officiating crew has thrown the most penalty flags in the first six weeks?
Scott Novak’s crew remains the one that has thrown the most flags out of all of the NFL refs’ teams. However, while they are averaging 17.2 flags thrown per game, that is largely driven by throwing 47 flags through the first two weeks. In their past three games, Novak’s crew has thrown just 39 flags for an average of 13 per game.
Shawn Hochuli’s crew is averaging 16.8 flags per game and has been fairly consistent around that number in the past two weeks with 32 flags thrown. In the past two games, Craig Wrolstad’s crew has thrown 41 flags, while Carl Cheffers and Brad Allen’s crews are at 38 apiece.
On the other end of the spectrum is the crew of NFL ref, Bill Vinovich. His group is averaging just 10.3 flags per game and a total of just 11 flags in the past two weeks.
