If ticky-tack defensive 'holding' (which it wasn't anyway) isn't a penalty for 58 minutes than it shouldn't be the last two when the game is still in the balance.
As long as there are human beings doing officiating, this is going to happen.
The defensive holding call in the SB was absolutely ticky-tack. It would have been a very questionable (read: bad) call at any point in any game. To do so to literally decide the Super Bowl is unconscionable.

Called consistently throughout on both teams maybe a better way to officiate the game.
They didn't do that so the whole thing is whack ..... how about calling Kelce for pushing off .... he does it at least a half dozen times a game and probably more.
Never gets a flag.
