The defense commits a holding penalty in the endzone after the interception and the intercepting team meanwhile returns the ball for a TD.

Why would he write what "the defense" does and then what "the intercepting team" does if he meant those to be the same team? I think he meant team A by "the defense" and team B by "the intercepting team". Why are you assuming the opposite?
