LOL
it took me like 5 or 6 links to actually find a story referencing the fact that d holding should have been called
Y! SPORTS
"A number of NFL rules experts took to social media to declare that whole thing was an inaccurate mess. It starts with the fact that under Article 6 (a) of Rule 12 (Section 1) of the NFL rule book, Kuechly's bear hug of Gronkowski qualified as defensive holding, not pass interference. As such, the catchability of the pass is not a factor in the infraction being called.
So the original flag was wrong. The reversal may have been correct (if the ball was, indeed, uncatchable) but only because the penalty being reversed was incorrect to begin with. If they’d gotten the first one right, they may have still blown the second one. "

I see what you did there
Just stick them in a red practice jersey at this point.
Defensive holding can only be called before the ball is in the air, I believe. Contact happened well after ball left Brady's hand.
thats only applicable for illegal contact or whatever

Yes, you are correct, I was thinking of illegal contact.
