That's exactly the case. KC only blitzed 6 times the whole game.
Regarding not calling the holding penalties, the Bolts fans were spot on with their take that hardly any would be called. Tamba Hali was put in a choke hold all night to the point where I'm beginning to think that there is a completely new definition of holding allowed when Manning is in the pocket. Just amazing. Non calls are part of the game and it can be argued that holding occurs somewhere on every play, but to repeatedly grab a guy around the neck with your forearm as he tries to get past you is holding all day long - except when the Manning Doctrine is applied.
