[Parsons] (on missed holding calls) It’s an offensive league!! It would be boring for their viewership if they called 10 holdings!! (twitter.com)

It is still irritating though. It really does seem like Micah gets held on every single play. Like.. multiple literal chokeholds a game..

The plays that look like chokeholds are usually not actually holding. You get to that position usually when the pass rusher does a rip move, which basically pushes the O-lineman's arm up into a position where they have to either disengage or wrap their arm around the pass rusher. There's an exception in the rulebook for those plays.

As a fan of a player that loves them: still. There are holds on those players, and the league doesn’t call them.

Aren't those only holds if the OLine takes the Dlinemen to the ground?
