Let me second the motion that whoever put that together has no idea who covers what in a seven man game (I'd be willing to guess any game, but that's just me).
Just going from memory, it looks like it was snapped at the Patriot 42 and Law was in front of the reciever until the 36. This is what the Patriot corners do - they don't let recievers get off the line clean. I don't see him holding him - he's in front of him the entire route - the reciever never gets "even" with him because Law has position.
To assert that those are all holds (on a grainy Zapruder-like video) is nonsense.
Watch Aeneas Williams cover somebody man up sometime. You might catch a grab or a pull here and there. Just maybe.
I just watched it again. If Law is holding, then the RT and RG for St. Louis are as well. They're in close contact to the defenders who are trying to get past but cannot. It also appears that the other defender sees that Law and his guy are coming at the last second. He doesn't "break off coverage" like it says - why would he give up covering his guy and leave him wide open just to hit a guy who was already covered? In any event, it looked like he took the worst of the collision. He ends up on his back.
You're definitely looking through the blue and gold glasses here.
