Before we get too far past the Steelers bye week, I thigh I would post an updated penalty report through the Steelers first 10 games of the 2011 season. The Steelers have been flagged a total of 70 times through the first 10 games for 519 yards in penalties. The most common penalty of course is offensive holding and false starts as they account for 25 of the 70 penalties. Ike Taylor leads the Steelers team and defense with 6 penalties. Jonathan Scott leads the offense with 5 penalties.
In the tables below, they are broken down by game, by penalty and by player. The stats include declined penalties, nullified yards, first downs as a result of and whether or not the drive stalled.
