This is hands down the most blatant hold I’ve ever seen. Dude was trying to reenact the titanic scene. Luckily this wasn’t a TD for philly.

Tampa will be without LB Devin White for the Wild Card game against Washington but the news sounds good for WR Mike Evans. MRI reveals no structural damage, per @JayGlazer
, and Evans seems on track to play Saturday night

^^ Devin White is cleared of covid protocol on Sunday .. game is Saturday. Hes the Bucs leading tackler, big blow.

I saw that and was going WTF? There was a lot of holding not called last night.

Refs did everything they could to help the Giants last night. If the game had been called on the level, we win in a blow out. Blatant uncalled holding fouls by the Philly OL all night long. Not one single call. Not one. The first Eagles TD drive was a travesty. We stopped them three or four times, only to have bogus penalties called to extend the drive. The one pass interference call at the sideline on third and long was outright criminal. The only penalties called on Philly all night were 2 or 3 obvious off-sides, one obvious block in the back, and a holding on a punt play where the Eagle tackled our wide man right off the snap. Even on that punt play, since the obvious penalty occurred pre-kick, it could have, and probably should have, been called defensive holding, giving us a first down. The player is an eligible receiver until the ball is kicked. That is why you will often hear the ref say "after the kick" or "before the kick" when announcing penalties, because before the kick it is a defensive foul and after the kick it is a return team foul.
