Holding in the NFL takes on many different forms. Sometimes, there’s a subtle jersey grab that goes unnoticed. Other times, there are the more blatant holds, a bear hug type thing that gets a instant flag. And there there’s this one.

Will Beatty put a little clothesline into his holding penalty.
That's Giants offensive tackle Will Beatty, he of the multi-layered facemask. As far as holds go, that's more like a wrestling move, a clothesline mixed with a takedown move.
Whatever it looked like, it got Beatty flagged for holding and erased a 38-yard gain by tight end Martellus Bennett.
