The Tennessee Titans are set to face the Miami Dolphins on Monday night football in a game that is completely lopsided on paper. This is the type of game that has the potential for an embarrassing outcome for the Titans in front of the entire country.
Tennessee has yet to win a single game away from Nissan Stadium, and now it will be tasked with trying to change that against one of the best teams in the NFL that, by the way, sports a perfect 5-0 record at home.
Adrian Hill and his staff will be in charge of keeping Sunday’s game under control. This will be Hill’s first Titans game of the season, and second Dolphins game, with the first occurring back in Week 4.
According to the NFLPenalties.com, Hill and Co. are one of the most strict officiating crews in the league. His crew ranks in the top half of the league in number of flags thrown (160, 12th highest), penalties accepted (132, 10th highest), and penalty yardage (1,096, ninth highest).
Listed below are the top five most frequent penalties that Hill and his staff have called through the first 13 weeks of the season, as well as the five that have been called the least.
