A false-start penalty against Levi Brown in Week 8 kept the Cardinals' tackle atop our weekly list of NFC West offenders.
Brown has five false-start penalties this season. His other penalties were for a chop block, holding and illegal touching of a forward pass.
Rams tackle Alex Barron went without a penalty in Week 8, only the third time in eight games officials did not flag Barron.
The chart shows NFC West penalty "leaders" through Week 8. The figures, provided by ESPN Stats & Information, count declined penalties.
The NFL makes available stats for accepted penalties (Seattle has the fewest this season). Counting declined penalties, the Seahawks have the fewest (36) among all NFL teams. The 49ers (52) and Cardinals (53) are right around the league average (51.75). The Rams have 64. Only the Bills (69) have more.
