Actually, let's talk about it. This is arguably the biggest defensive holding penalty in NFL history, 3rd & 8 in a 4-point game. And where's the foul here? Why did we just move on from this so quickly? That's a weak call in a huge moment.

We gonna act like this didn’t happen that same game??

The only reason he was in position to hit the ball away was because of the leverage he gained on the hold at the break of the route. It’s dumb that people think this isn’t a hold

Actually, let’s shut the fuck up about this already. Don’t hold and it won’t be called. How stupid are you people?

Because I had to see this nightmarish play again. Here's the broadcast, replays and film angles.

"where's the hold?"

I’d say the more egregious non call was the entire line false starting on this play

At the top of his break (you can see his momentum slowed) and when he uses his leverage to propel himself to knock the pass down. 2 holds.

Not shot that gets called if the rams were the ones on defense. NFL wanted the bigger market to win, simple as that.

nothing worse than this

These refs knew the assignment. Make sure you give LA every chance down here. If they hadn't called this, they would have found something on 4th down if the Rams didn't covert.

I'm still haunted by it. Bengals likely win that SB without that BS call.

ATTENTION: Beavis is crying

I will say this again, watch the play RIGHT before this one. Rams RB D Henderson has an easy go-ahead TD on his Texas route and was blatantly held by the LB(Wilson I believe). Go watch that play, and come back to me. Miss me with this BS.

I think it was a makeup call for the play before it where there was a hold. I agree though, this particular play wasn’t a penalty but who is to say Rams don’t get it on 4th down anyway 🤷🏼‍♂️ also the clear OPI on Ramsey at the start of the 3rd quarter that wasn’t called

I love when this gets brought back up. You aren’t allowed to use an offensive player to push your momentum forward. Notice the 0 on the #10. Easy call, textbook holding. Maybe wear white gloves next time. Oh & CIN spotted 7 points on Higgins non call OPI. #WeDey #RamsHouse

He turning because the ball was behind him But the human eye can get tricky. It’s over they made the call and sometimes it’s just what happens.

This is my thing with that call. You can call it holding if you have been calling them all game. The refs swallowed their whistles the entire game until that red zone drive where they said screw it time to be strict. I think the Donald offsides was a bigger miss on 4th down

I remember another shady holding call in a big game that won a championship recently.

I guess the blatant OPI on Higgins when he scored that TD was ok though right?

I’ll never let this call go. Terrible call in the biggest moment of my fandom man.

He literally propels himself forward to make a play on the ball by grabbing Kupp. Maybe tell your linebacker not to wear bright orange gloves and get all handsy with the leagues best WR. The Tee Higgens facemask would have been a much bigger story if the Rams had lost this game

Thank God the chiefs didn't benefit from this call 🙏 😄

I have this theory, and I know I can't prove it, but at some point the Rams owner was told "if you get the franchise back to LA and get a stadium built, we'll get you your QB and you'll get a trophy." Pure conjecture, but it IS a business. 🧐

Show me the tee Higgins td to start the 2nd half and tell me this was the worst officiating decision in this game, Scott.

Because fuck the Bengals, that’s why.

Guess you missed the 2023 SB when Bradbury was called for holding on a phantom call to give KC a SB win. Exaggerate much?

2 hands wrapped around the waist of the triple crown winner in the middle of the field? Used it to close the gap and make a play on the ball? It’s a foul then and it’s a foul now dumb shit

They needed the Rams to be Super Bowl champs so they could establish a fan base in LA. This never gets called especially on a linebacker

There was holding on that play, clearly seen in the video, that was a good call. The controversial penalty from that game was the no call on blatant offense pass interference from Higgs that led to a long offensive touchdown for the bengals.

It looks like nothing in slomo. Watch it in full speed and you see Kupp’s momentum disappear right when he gets grabbed. The tripple crown winner isn’t suddenly going to get blanket coverage from a linebacker without a hold.

“Weak call” lmfao Bringing back up your one moment in the big lights because you guys are finally realizing you’re stuck with the same old Bungles lmfaoooooo Only a matter of time until Jamarr Chase forces his way out to a real franchise, you guys are just wasting his talent.

Hey Scott kocksmear I know you’re new to football but it’s called a make up call for this attempted manslaughter

Well they had missed an egregious hold the play before so it balanced out. Of course the history books won’t remember that part tho lol

Now show Higgins pulling Ramsey facemask, let’s talk about that
