Bengals had another good year as far as total penalties.

Wouldn't know it from the gameday threads with how many games the refs rigged against us.

Jokes aside I think you might be onto something with the less aggressive bit, or at least it can't be incredibly determinative on success....
-The top-10 in most penalties has the Cowboys, Browns, Texans, Bills, Packers, and Ravens all in the playoffs.
-The top-10 in least penalties had the Steelers in the playoffs.

Wonder if it's about straddling the line between not being afraid to be aggressive to try to make a play and getting a penalty versus not losing your composure and having dumb penalties. Always appreciated a good CB outright tackle of a WR when he know he's about to get burnt for a TD. Lol
