For those of you watching the Arizona - New England game, I have a question about a play near the end of the game. NE had just gotten the ball back and was trying to position themselves for the field-goal attempt when they got called for offensive holding. It was a pass play that started on the AZ 30 yard line, they had gained approx 10 yards, but were called for holding. Arizona accepted the penalty, but the next play started again at the 30 as a 1st & 10. It looked like NE was given credit for the 10 yard play (and the resulting 1st down), but then were pushed back 10 yards. It appeared to be treated like a holding play on a kick-off, not like a holding play from a line of scrimmage.
The way I understand it, if the offense is called for holding, the previous play doesn't count and the offense is moved back 10 yards. So in this case, NE should have been facing a 1st & 20 from the 40, right?
