That's what I said when I watched it. That has been a hold in the NFL this season. The WR tried to get away from the DB after they engaged and the DB's left hand was still holding the WR's jersey.
That is also never going to be called OPI because as we've seen many times, OPI doesn't have the same threshold for a penalty that DPI does. Offensive players get away with stuff all the time that defensive players get flagged for. There was a play early in the game last night when the WR went over the top of the defensive player and displaced him to knock a ball down that was underthrown with no call.
