A hold is defined as a subjective interpretation of grabbing a defensive player by the Refs as dictated by the NFL officiating office. Therefore, if you’re a ‘darling’ of the NFL (Niners, Ravens, Eagles , Chiefs), no holding calls will be made.
Even the announcers said they didn't see how in the world Aaron Donald can come to work and play like he does knowing he's going to be held by 2-3 guys all game long (there was an instant replay of the Ravens doing exactly that to demonstrate on camera what they were saying) and the refs never call it. Everybody knows it's done but it only matters to the Rams and their fans apparently because they've been doing it his whole career.
