Trent Williams on hold that wasn't called: You only get a speeding ticket if you're pulled over
Our Summary
The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 23-19 with a late touchdown pass from Brock Purdy to Christian McCaffrey. The decisive score came with 2:54 remaining. Controversy arose over a missed holding call against 49ers left tackle Trent Williams, who appeared to hold Eagles edge rusher Nolan Smith during the play. No penalty was assessed, and the 49ers finished the game with only one penalty for 15 yards. When questioned about the incident, Williams responded by noting no flag was thrown, comparing it to not getting a speeding ticket if not pulled over. Williams, who has been called for only one holding penalty this season, has earned Pro Bowl honors for the 12th time.
