Warren Sapp defends Mason McCormick’s block on Dexter Lawrence: “What we consider holding is when you’re restricting me from going somewhere. When you’re lifting me and taking me where you want to go, we call that air lifting, cargo mailing. That is a good block by him. Dexter, you want to do something about that, what’s your leg doing up that high anyway? He’s taking Lawrence where he wants. He’s not restricting him. If he had his leg and he was trying to go that way and he was pulling his leg the other way, that’s holding.” #Steelers #NFL
