Duration: 2:09

Fouls:
Vulcans 13 (Offside x 5 [2 Offset, 2 Declined], Holding x 2, Facemask [Offset], Late Hit x 2 [2 Offset], Unnecessary Roughness, Ineligible Receiver Downfield [Declined], Helping the Runner [Declined]) - 40 yds
Chiefs 13 (False Start, Illegal Formation [Offset], Holding x 3 [1 Offset], Illegal block in the back, Facemask, Unnecessary Roughness, Helping the Runner x 2 [1 Declined], Fighting x 2 [2 Offset], Illegal block below the waist [Declined]) - 70 yds

Vulcans # 65 & #76 were both ejected for flagrant personal fouls (2 x Late Hits and 1 x Facemask) on opponents
Chiefs #56 & #94 were both ejected for reacting to these fouls by punching opponents

All four ejections happened with 2 minutes remaining in the game.

The total accepted penalty count of 11 and total enforced yardage of 110yds was one of the (if not the) lowest of the season.

Amazing. You had four people sent off (Though of course in the same instance) but to have such a low penalty count as well. That is just funny.

Well, I don't think 26 penalties is that low. But to have only 11 accepted penalties is a shocker.
