Rules? What rules?
On Sunday, the New York Jets accomplished something that hasn't been done in 62 years — they committed 20 penalties and somehow managed to win the game. The Cleveland Browns were the last team to overcome 20 penalties and earn a victory, and that was in 1951. Their lack of discipline cost them 168 yards and gifted the Buffalo Bills with EIGHT first downs.
To put that statistic in perspective, on Sunday the New York "Football" Giants gained 150 yard in total offense — the Jets racked up more yards simply in penalties. Here's how they accomplished that dubious feat:
Offensive holding — 10 yards.
False start — 5 yards.
Offensive holding — 10 yards.
