I couldn't believe those calls. I mean if it happened for GB or Dallas or NE I'd think the fix was in. but under no circumstance can I figure out how Detroit would be the beneficiary of the old "company line"

I didn't see the game but was following on ESPN's play by play.
How bad was the actual holding?
I was thinking they better be blatant as he'll because Chicago marched down the field just to the edge of field goal range and the completed a pass that put them inside the 10 iirc when the first holding call came and then was followed immediately by another not only negating a huge play and 1st and goal but way out of field goal range with a 1st and 30.
No question those calls eliminated ant chance Chicago had at winning or tying. They very likely would have won with the momentum they had if not for those calls.
This reminds me of the AZ game earlier this year.
