This.

Can’t remember which game it was but some team on Thanksgiving had the other in like 3rd and 20. Then they got called for defensive holding like 6 yards down. Aside from the fact that it was questionable holding to begin with, they got an automatic first down.

It was bullshit. I think it was the Cowboys. Maybe that’s why I was so pissed. Got tired of having to watch Jerry Jones’ reaction every time something happened.
