By now, everyone should be familiar with the NFL's term for purposeful rule-breaking. It's called a "palpably unfair act" and, generally speaking, teams get one chance to do it before the league cracks down.
All of which brings up a few fair questions, especially in light of the way the Baltimore Ravens clinched a 19-14 victory Sunday over the Cincinnati Bengals. Namely: Why does the NFL allow it at all? And what, if anything, can be done to fix the loophole?
As you might know, the Ravens on Sunday repurposed a strategy they used to help win Super Bowl XLVII over the 49ers.
