I saw Aqib Talib commenting on it. He said the bottom line is if you put your hands on him it’s holding or PI. He said your job as a back is to get your body position right. You take the chance to put your hands on them because it’s better than getting a touchdown. But you can’t cry when you get a flag. Because you know what the rules are.

....but if the first three times you do it you aren't flagged, you get a sense that the refs are gonna let you play that way the whole game. It was inconsistent.

The NFL had been trying to get a franchise back in LA for years. LA Jags. Host team wins SB for the 2nd straight year....great headline. Small market Cincy let it stay too close, small market teams need to dominate in order to remove this possibility from the game completely; you could see this one coming after Boyd dropped that ball trying to run before he had it. Of course the NFL wants to see this, because LA is the dream market and everyone gets richer when they (or the Cowboys/Patriots/etc) are on top. So yeah, inconsistent is the nice way to put it.

And Myles Jack still isn't down.
