Lol, that’s three separate holds on a single play. We only rushed 4. What do you suppose the ref, the back judge, and the rest of the crew were watching during this play??

Holy shit the NFL sucks so bad.
Holy smokes, Alim McNeil got snow plowed 5 yards backwards on a QB sneak.
It was a brutal reminder of how tough the NFL trenches are. Alim is a great NFL player, and got WORKED on one play.
This is my best guess in how the refs missed it.

Daily prayer of the Lions fan, tbh
Here’s the thing…the “block” on the left….we see all the time in football. Reminds me of the Suh arm bar around his neck from a guy who behind him. “if they called like they should it would be every play” good do it…..learn better technique. That’s a hold.
Holding was indeed called that play.
It was called on Jack Campbell…
not far from the other 3 holds occurring at the SAME time.
These 2 pictures below show how the Bills O-line held on for several yards… it wasn’t just a single screen shot.
Levi, Alim, and Hutch were held while they traveled at least 3 yards after the initial grab. Sustained holds.
Plus… I just realized Lacy was being held when I took the 2nd screen shot. They were 4/4 on the D-line there.

edit to add different angle of same play….

Honestly guys, i can’t see a clear Bills hold on those screenshots that is beyond the normal holds that everyone gets away with in the trenches from every level … peewee to pro’s. Your not going to get called for holding if your an offensive lineman and you keep your arms close to your body, and your elbows are at 90 degrees or more. Extend your arms away from your body, or hold when your arms are at more than 90 degrees… you have a chance of getting called from holding, though many are missed.
Now I’m not saying the Bills weren’t holding, and I’m not saying they played within the rules all night, i just don’t see good evidence of it in those screen shots.
I don’t see any holding either. Your crazy @Phunnypharm

Did you watch that part of the game???
They definitely were holding multiple Lions DL guys on that play… and Jack got called for a defensive hold on the SAME PLAY….
and when the Lions got the ball back after the Bills scored there…
they called Borom for a VERY weak holding call behind the play when Gibbs ran for about 15’yards to the LEFT side of the O-line.
There were many impactful flags thrown in the 1st quarter…
and every single one of them hurt the Lions.
On the other hand… the Lions got called ticky tack crap when they had the ball.
It was pretty blatant… the NFL wanted the Bills stadium opening to be a celebration.
