The Refs Were Bad In Saints/Chiefs Game

GTSaint said

The refs (and announcers also) were incredibly biased in the game. Really frustrating and I don’t know how a team can beat that.
But in all fairness, in this play, I think the refs just messed up the number. It should have been against 90 (Breese) who held KC number 65, preventing him from getting to the next level and blocking Orji. So TECHNICALLY it was holding. But the is never called.**

Yeah, I thought there were some calls that could have been made, and some that should have been let go. (Though IMO this did not cost the Saints the game.)

But in this case, they simply got the number wrong. Breese is clearly holding the guard (as taught FWIW) to prevent him from getting the linebacker at the second level. Granderson just happens to dart behind him at the end and the ref probably caught a glimpse of the wrong number. Chalk this up to right call, wrong person.
