Which football team had the most penalties in one game?

Answer 1

The NFL record for penalties in a game by a team is 22 and is held by three teams: 1) Brooklyn Dodgers in a game against the Packers in 1944.

2) Chicago Bears in a game against the Eagles in 1944.

3) San Francisco 49ers in a game against the Bills in 1998.

Answer 2

The record for the most penalties, both teams, in one game is 37, set by Cleveland (21 penalties, 209 yards) and Chicago (16 penalties, 165 yards) on November 25, 1951. Naturally, that game also set the record for the most yards penalized. The final score was Chicago 21, Cleveland 42. In that game, Dub Jones scored six touchdowns for the Browns (a record tied by Gale Sayers in 1965, but never surpassed).

In one series of downs, the Browns' defense was charged three times with personal fouls and penalized 15 yards, each time. The three penalties put the Bears on Cleveland's 9 yard line, but they still couldn't score.

Answer 3

Texas Tech punted 39 times in a game against Centenary in 1939. Playing in a driving rainstorm, Centenary punted 38 times as the teams' combined 77 punts also is an NCAA record.
