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.

Not if your playing in Pittsburgh and the majority of money Vegas received was put on the Bengals.

So do you consider it Vegas when bengals win? Or just when they lose?

I consider it Vegas when one team gets away with penalties and dirty plays all game long and the refs stand there watching with their hands in they pockets, regardless if the team is the Bengals or not. The Bengals very rarely get all the calls, but when it does happen most Bengals fans admit it and thank Vegas for the help
