Ok, its fun to hate on the more popular teams in the NFL and make statements like this, but lets have a look at the facts- none of those 4 teams have been in the top 4 of beneficiary penalty yards in the last 2 years, none of them were bottom 4 this year in penalties against. New England was actually a lousy 29th this year in beneficiary yards, and 3rd in penalties against. Pitt was 22nd this year in beneficiary penalty yards and 12th in penalties against. Green bay was a little more on the positive side in both categories this year, while Dallas was middle of the pack.
Anyway, I could go on with a more in depth, expanded look at the stats, but the point is the facts don't really back up your statement.
