I'm thinking the Chargers likely went more prevent but Romo didn't really point that out.
The Baltimore defender sold that holding call cause he knew he knew he was beat. Pathetic by the refs
Wow, tough call
Edit - that was a hold, too bad the runner was already way past the guy held. But definitely a penalty and a dumb one by Okung.

That was as holding as holding gets. I yelled that out before the flag even came out.
According to our resident rules guy, that's not a hold because the running back was already passed the point of the hold. It didn't affect the play.
Yeah, he hooked the edge guy, that is a textbook holding call at the point of attack.
Um, no. Lineman was beat and decided to dare the official to call the hold. He lost the bet.
That would be awesome.
Snap it, run it around like a maniac and then into the end zone for the safety. Waste another 10-15.
From the rule book:
1st, and perhaps most important, the NFL rulebook outlines specific scenarios where offensive holding cannot be called by rule. Here are just a few (see rule 12-3-c for full list):
A player is being double teamed
A defender uses the "rip" technique, i.e. goes underneath the lineman's arm. These always look like a player is being clotheslined, and it is completely legal.
The players being held is not at the immediate point of attack or doesn't have likely ability to make the tackle/play.
That's what Nance was talking about when he said "he didn't even need to hold him."
