When the NFL was first formed in 1920, penalty rules were not standardized, and there were fewer penalties compared to the modern game. The number of penalties increased over time as the rules and regulations became more defined and detailed. It is challenging to determine the exact number of penalties during the early years as record-keeping was not as comprehensive as it is today.
