The defensive holding call was horseshit.
Not only because it was ticky tack, but also the situation. You don’t call that (bail a team out) on 3rd and 20. It was very minor contact.
It’s the type of penalty that’s so egregious that people question whether the refs are instructed to do this crap. If it happened to the Chiefs you would all be furious that penalty was called.
That doesn’t even take into account the missed holding calls on that drive. My goodness the Jets line was being held blatantly and nothing called. It’s almost impressive how bad this was:

That being said - I don’t see the big deal. The Chiefs would have won even if it was 4th and 50 after that play. Zero chance the Jets drive the field against Spags with under 2 minutes to go. Just wasn’t happening.
