Fair enough. I have watched that play about 20 times at this point, from several different angles. To me, if there was a hold, it was definitely not blatant enough to call in the last 2 minutes of a Superbowl, when refs are particularly hesitant (as they were on the next drive, as there was holding going on for at least one of NE's last offensive plays).
On this board, I have seen ridiculous exaggerations about the so-called holding on the last play, including the idea that the ref could have called 2 separate personal fouls on that play, because 2 Patriots facemasks were being grabbed & pulled all over the place. That simply did not happen.
