We use penalty yards in our league, because we feel defenses should be penalized for DPI, holding, and other defensive penalties. But the Pittsburgh Steelers D/ST has been penalized twice for false starts by the offensive line (both were on 1st downs, so it wasn't on a FG attempt, which would make it a special teams penalty).
Why is their defense being penalized for penalties on offensive players? Idk if this has been happening prior to this week, it was just brought to my attention by one of the managers in a league I'm commissioner of. Please address.
Nevermind, it appears that this has been an issue all season, however past game logs are accurate. I'm assuming what this means is that all penalties are being applied to the defense during the game, but then after the game goes final it's being adjusted so that offensive penalty yards no longer count on the defense's ledger.
