KANSAS CITY, Missouri — Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley felt like officials were targeting him during Thursday night’s 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Stanley was flagged three times for illegal formation. He was penalized on the second play of the game without any warning from the officials.

“I thought it was a little different,” Stanley said. “And then, the way it went through the game, I really felt like they just wanted to make an example and they chose me to do it. From what I could see, they didn’t do it on both sides of the ball and I know I was in a good position in most of those decisions that they made. But we’ll go back and watch the film and we’ll know for sure and we’ll send it in (to the league office).”

After the game, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said teams had been informed that illegal formation would be a focus this season. But Baltimore stressed that Kansas City was not penalized once for illegal formation, while the Ravens were flagged five times.

“I look at their tackles, especially the right side, and I know I’m standing in front of that guy,” Stanley said. “And they haven’t called him once. It makes me feel a little crazy, (that) I don’t know where I stand. I guess we’ll watch the film. They just need to be held accountable if that’s what it is. If it’s that bad that they’re making those calls — and they shouldn’t be — then they need to be held accountable.”

Last season, Stanley was penalized 11 times, but not once for illegal formation. In addition to Stanley, offensive tackle Patrick Mekari and wide receiver Rashod Bateman were also penalized for illegal formation on Thursday.

“It’ll be interesting to see if they call it the same thing the whole season,” Harbaugh said. “I challenge them to call it the same thing the whole season tonight, so hopefully they’re consistent with that.”
