I thought both were shit calls.

The holding was absurd. Didn't look much like a hold to me.

The downfield is crap. Straight crap. How can a lineman be expected to block a player, drive him backwards and then not be "downfield" when the defensive player disengages? What is he supposed to do? Magically float back to the line of scrimmage like a fairy? I don't get that. It's not even like he did anything after the defensive player moved off. He just stood there. He wasn't pursing or anything. I don't get how that can be called downfield.
