The call on both Holder was complete and total BS. I could see in the speed and heat of the moment Edwards getting a flag that was a vicious hit on a receiver over the middle, but the flag should have been picked up after review.
Holder's call is what needs to change most about the targeting rule. The helmet-to-helmet contact was a) initiated by the receiver, and b) the receiver lowered his head to hit Holder's. That either needs to be not targeting or it needs to be targeting on the offensive player, not the defender.
What I fail to understand is why a flag can't be picked up after review. If it's targeting, it's a penalty and an ejection. If it's not targeting, there's no penalty so pick up the damn flag!
