Holding penalties down after NFL adjusts following Titans-Jaguars debacle

An adjustment by the NFL on how it calls offensive holding penalties following the debacle that was the Tennessee Titans-Jacksonville Jaguars game on Thursday night seems to have worked.

Well, at least for now.

The league’s Senior vice president of officiating, Al Riveron, held a conference call on Saturday night to explain to officials how to ease up on offensive holding calls following a Titans-Jaguars game that was littered with laundry.

The game drew harsh criticism from those watching, including New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who said he would shut the game off because all the flags were ruining it.
