The Parents Television Council plans to ask its members to file formal indecency complaints over CBS' airing of fleeting profanities by Baltimore Ravens players during the post-Super Bowl celebration.

According to a spokesperson, the group plans to create an online action portion of its site to encourage the complaints. That will allow it to track how many complaints are filed.

PTC complaints helped prompt the last major FCC indecency crackdown after the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake Super Bowl halftime reveal in 2004.
