During the presser, Brady said an official was told by the League to call the game tighter, to call more holding penalties. Brady also said there’s holding on every play. Both statements are probably true.
Here’s a list of the penalties called in the game. New England Patriots @ Pittsburgh Steelers - 12/16/2018 - NFL Penalty Stats Tracker - List/Statistics/Data of NFL Penalties - 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018. There were 18 penalties called. Fourteen were called against the Pats, four against the Steelers. Six were holding calls and five of those were called against New England. Why the lopsided number of holding calls against the Pats when everyone holds all the time?
Congratulations to the Steelers and especially Keith Butler, who schemed and called an excellent game. The Steelers deserved to win and played well in a pretty even game - except for the penalties.
