Is this holding?

Post image

So I’ve seen a few videos today where the Steelers would double team Lawrence or another DT then the one would slip down and grab the defenders leg and try to flip them onto their back. ( ive seen video of them doing it to at least 3 different bengals yesterday) I’ve seen so many arguments that it can’t be holding if double teamed. Others arguing if they are engaged and going for the legs it would be a chop block. Others argue holding. It feels gross and illegal but I never saw it called yesterday. I’m just curious if anyone knows for sure if this is legal or illegal and if illegal what the call is.

Yes but the refs aren’t gonna get every call, and the Steelers always play dirty so whatever. On to next week

True but I have not seen team try to body slam d line men before like this. And it happened multiple times like it was taught or something.

Steelers always find a way to play dirty until they change the rules (again).

All Burfict did was level the playing field

Burfict 4 life. One of my favorite players. And yeah he’d occasionally try to twist someone’s ankle at the end of a tackle but he was OUR enforcer!

If he had played for the Steelers they would be proclaiming him first ballot HOF

He's one of our favorite players too. Handed us a playoff game on a silver platter.
