Denied broadcast packets in same interface with antispoofing

${fwcmd} add 400 deny log ip from any to any not antispoof in

rl2: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.0.97 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast 192.168.0.127

/var/log/security:

Why are broadcast packets originating from the same interface are denied
access? Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance,
