Brad Stewart's catch was the best by a GT player since...

I’m pretty certain “holding” involves using your hands and/or arms. The guy didn’t put his hands on him.

Looks like he wrapped him up lol.

The video shows that he tripped and wasn’t even looking at Brad when he first touched him - he was looking at the ground. The images you posted just show him trying to correct his fall.

But that still is holding then =) Pass interference may imply intent, but holding is illegal use of the hands down field impeding a receiver. I can't see how this is isn't that.

So he was trying to break his fall (see photo 1) by catching Brad around his waist? What a coinkidink!

Where he is looking - and I couldn't tell that from the photos - doesn't make that kind of contact, especially of a guy who had him beat going down field and who had just made a big catch, anything but holding, imho. And it happened twice in one play. The "refs" - and I use the term loosely - were asleep most of the game.
