Which NFL crews have thrown the most and least flags in the first two weeks?

It is the crew of Clete Blakeman who have thrown the most flag through the first two weeks with 42, three of which were declined. They threw 17 flags in the Week 1 Monday Night Football game and 22 in the overtime game between the Raiders and Cardinals.

On the opposite end of the scale, Bill Vinovich’s crew has thrown just 13 flags through the first two weeks, of which five have been declined. To put that into context, the only other crew to have thrown fewer than 15 flags is that of Adrian Hill, who has only worked one game.
