Which NFC East team is the most “Disciplined” when it comes to penalties after 13 weeks?

Penalty Laundering

During WK13 the Seahawks Vs Cowboys game netted 19 penalties for 257 combined yards. Now heading into WK14 the Cowboys will host the most “Disciplined” NFC East team on Sunday Night Football.

A few weeks I began publishing the NFC East “Penalty Report” on Built Different Group. I wanted to collect all the division laundry and share it in content form to inform and educate.

The Cowboys lead the league in penalties with 127 in 2021. We are currently trending in the same direction with 5 games remaining left in the season.

It currently stands the Cowboys are only second behind the Seahawks who lead the league heading into WK14 with 91 total penalties. What in the world is going on in the NFC with penalties period?
