    Holding confusion

    I thought that offensive holding was a ten yard penalty, but I could swear that when it was called on the Steelers, it only moved them back five yards each time.

    Did it change from last year?

      If holding is done down the field (like by a WR) it is a spot foul, meaning you penalize from the spot of the holding. That may be what you saw.

        if there is holding inside the 10 yd line than they mark it half the distance to the goal line, unless of course it is holding in the endzone than it is a safety, just like in the super bowl

          of course though, i am confused as to why some holding penalties are called and some obvious ones are not, been confused over that for the past 17 years...

            James Harrison is consistently confused by the same thing.
            Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

            Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

            We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

            We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
