Texans' Laremy Tunsil on chronic false starts: 'I got a target on my back'

The sight of Texans left offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil leaving his stance a split-second early and being flagged for a false start is becoming commonplace.

Tunsil was flagged for a season-high three false starts Sunday during a 38-24 loss to the Denver Broncos. He leads the NFL with a dozen false starts and is the most penalized player in the league with 16 penalties overall with one declined.

Tunsil disagreed sharply with the calls and spoke to an official about the calls.

"I just got a target on my back, I just got to fix it, (expletive) calls," Tunsil said.
