Would it surprise you to know that the actual number of OPI calls in the 2005 NFL season was 98?

Would you be shocked to know that nine touchdowns were called back during the 2005 NFL season because of an OPI call?

Would you be taken aback if you knew that Plaxico Burress of the Giants led the league by being flagged for five OPI calls?

What if you knew that Randy Moss had two touchdown catches called back because he pushed off a defensive back?

I'll bet you would. But those are the facts.
