The Cowboys have been the beneficiaries of
9 offensive holding calls on their opponents. That's tied with five teams. Seven teams have received more, 19 less.
This is not really a big enough sample size, and even so, it does not give any indication of calls that should have been made. When I rewatched the Bears game, rewinding plays to watch repeatedly I saw numerous holding penalties committed with few called. In fact, the one holding called where the OT grabbed Parsons, I thought was the least egregious of all of them. And the holding was not limited to Parsons. We saw Fowler dragged to the ground too. There were holds on other plays were Bears blockers pulled Cowboys defenders away from the play, etc. As I watched the Cowboys OL, I saw a couple of minor infractions but nothing that significant. I was a little surprised actually.
The theory by some Cowboys fans is the holding calls were not holding because the "rip" move creates an exception to the holding rule. It allows the blocker to wrap his arm under the defenders neck and use it to impede the defender from the play. But when I watch the game again, I didn't see Parson use the rip move on any of the plays where holding should have been called. It appears to me the refs have decided arm bars are not legal blocks when they were called holding in the past.
If the refs are consistent, I generally don't care, but on egregious holds, like when Parsons and Fowler were pulled to the ground, they have to call those. No one wants the NFL to turn into a wrestling match.
btw, during my rewatch of the game there was a pass play where Tyler Smith blocks a Bears guy downfield, then came off the block and blocked another guy. He should have been called for a penalty there. Maybe he didn't realize what the play was or he lost his place but it is something he should watch in the future.
