The interesting part of that is that the initial contact was within 5 yards of the LoS. I think it was a bit more than "contact", nonetheless. The rest was pure PI
`Looks like he grabbed him and took him to the ground twice before the ball got there. Holding and PI all on the same play and the officials called nothing.

Stupid fing Bengals fans. I watched the game with a Bengals fan, and (I think on a catch by Rogers) a bengals defender wouldn't let go of a Steelers receiver who was trying to get up after a catch. The Bengals fan immediately started ranting about the Steeler player being too aggressive. So I rewound the play and showed in slow motion how the Bengals guy wasn't letting him get up which caused (I believe Eli Rogers) to rip his arm away and step over the Bengal.
Just goes to show that many fans (especially Bengals fans) just see what the want to see and overlook their own teams faults.
I saw that play and at the time, I was saying, "He ought to just sit on the ******'s head." You want to not let go... Ok. I'll sit on your ******* head.
What is Pouncey doing all the way at the goal line? Was he eligible? I would think he would be with the rest of the OL blocking. Maybe it was supposed to be a quick throw.
