So here we are in the NFL with 2 seconds left in the game and the offense trailing by 5 with the ball at the 15 yard line. Wideout is split wide left with the defender ready to block his release off the line.

The snap occurs, the defensive line stunts, and the offense makes a quick trap off the right guard with the runner breaking toward the right sideline and scoring to win the game.

But wait, there's a flag on the play !!!!!!!!
It seems there was a holding call made against the wideout over on near the left sideline !!!!!

Good call by rules?????????????
Good call by a veteran official?????????
You make the call............

********

It seems we have a similar incident here..........

Nope, a similar incident in the NFL would be a false start or an offside on a lineman at the beginning of the play. That's a technical-type foul similar to the balk that was called. It's also a technical-type foul that has to be called in football, no matter when it occurs.

Good call by the rules?--Yup!
Good call by an NFL veterano?--Yup!

Apples and oranges again.
