In the second quarter, one head-scratching sequence unfolded with three consecutive false starts by right tackle Tytus Howard, center Juice Scruggs and Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil followed by an illegal formation flag on Tunsil on an incomplete pass on third down that was declined. It killed a scoring opportunity and punter Tommy Townsend was sent into the game with the Texans trailing 14-0.
Standing at his locker after the game, Tunsil, who was flagged for three false starts and two illegal formations with one declined, said there’s a disconnect in how the games are being officiated with a lot of inconsistency. Hochuli and his crew made it a point of emphasis to call illegal formation penalties during the season-opening win for the Kansas City Chiefs over the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens were hit with three illegal formations on their opening drive, much to the chagrin of coach John Harbaugh.
“The penalties are a killer,” Howard told KPRC 2. “Being honest, I feel like the refs got to work with us a little bit. It’s become a certain thing where the linemen that’s new for everyone. They’ve got to work with us on that. Communication. It’s too inconsistent. Sometimes, you’re up far enough. Sometimes, you’re not. We just go to, as a team, as tackles, we’ve got to hone in on it and line up where they want us to line up. It’s very fixable. I’m not discouraged.
