Also, the defensive holding call on a ball thrown 30 feet out of bounds brought me to the Gronk being held in Carolina Swamp discussion in 2013; I still don't understand it.

Re: 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend

Considering Josh Allen fakes slides and embraces contact, I have no idea how the Steelers can affectively commit to tackling him without it turning into a penalty, but if a defenseless tackler is engaged, just hit him wherever.

In the 3rd quarter when his defence had already given up 40 points. Definitely a highlight, then followed...
