The Baltimore Ravens faced numerous penalties for illegal formation in their season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, with left tackle Ronnie Stanley receiving the brunt of the calls.

Stanley was penalized three times, leading to frustrations about uneven officiating. Other Ravens also incurred penalties, while Chiefs right tackle Jawaan Taylor went without a single illegal formation call, leading to further discontent among Ravens players.

Head coach John Harbaugh emphasized the need for consistency in officiating throughout the season as the Ravens adapt to the league's emphasis on alignment penalties.
