The St. Louis Rams are seething over the disparity of penalties called in last week’s 23-16 loss to the New England Patriots in Foxborough.
The Rams sent a videotape of the game to the NFL office, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Tuesday.
According to the report, the tapes highlight plays the Rams believe should have resulted in penalties against the Patriots.
The Rams were penalized 12 times for 63 yards. The Patriots were called for only one penalty, which St. Louis declined.
“Never ever, ever, ever played a perfect team before,” Rams guard Richie Incognito told the Post-Dispatch. “That’s all I am going to say on that one.”
Through seven games, New England has been flagged for just 22 penalties, the lowest total in the league.
Last week, the Patriots became the first team to go an entire game without being assessed any penalty yardage since Seattle had no penalties against Baltimore on December 23 of last season.
Rams coach Jim Haslett admitted that he is not sure what will be accomplished by sending the tape to the league.
“It doesn’t help,” he said. “It just lets them know you know.”
