The accepted penalties were on OL Donald Thomas (false start on extra point), CB Phillip Adams (illegal contact) and OL Brian Waters (holding).
The declined/offsetting penalties were on OL Nate Solder (clipping), Waters (holding) and cornerback Kyle Arrington (pass interference).
As for drawn holding penalties, the Patriots had four in the game, an impressive total.
