Yeah, it was technically a hold, but you could call a hold like that literally on every play. The refs usually swallow their whistle their and this time they chose not to and I honestly believe it was because they were trying to keep the game ‘close’ going into the second half. NFL didn’t want a blowout in the first half, which is what it would have been had that TD counted.
So ‘rigged’ ? No. Outcome ‘influenced’ heavily by officials? Most definitely.

Too many of you guys wanna dance around the obvious in spite of the asinine outcomes we all see every single week, scared to be viewed as konspiracy kooks by all the popular kids IMO
No it isn't scripted to the level of WWE, but week after week and year after year we can't ignore our eyes... these refs are able to dominate games with ZERO consequences
