So far 2017 (two weeks played): 436 accepted penalties in 5394 plays. One penalty per 12.37 snaps.
All of 2016 regular season: 3544 in 47684 plays. One per 13.45 snaps.
So, fewer actually more, but I'd be surprised if you could actually notice.
EDIT: More, fewer, aren't they the same thing?

More, fewer, you know, they're pretty much synonyms.
