The NFL is rigged

While I'm not going to say rigged, there seem like too many plays where Mahomes will be allowed to scramble or step up into the pocket because of a missed holding call. I don't know if there is just some way he approaches the pocket that confuses refs or what, but they are missing holds when he's out there at a higher rate.

They're likely being slightly distracted by watching Mahomes and his magic. Holding is hard enough to see in real time in a crowd even when you are looking for it. Of course, you can go to an "eye in the sky" system, but that'll probably result in holding being called on every play. We all know it occurs on every play somewhere on the field.
