There's a mistake on page 4 in the structure diagram. It says the first block of a packet is 14 bytes == 84 bits. But 14 bytes is 112 bits, as is seen on the repeat of the diagram on page 15.

A MAC address is 48 bits, so 2 MAC addresses and a type can never fit into 84 bits.

Not including the FCS, which is another 4 bytes.

Or, in many cases the VLAN, which is...another 4 bytes.

Hence the 1522B interface MTU (22 + 1500 of L3 MTU).
