I missed this one. Defensive holding is an automatic first down only if the ball is thrown and passes the line of scrimmage.
Actually it had to do with position on the field. Inside the 10 it is not an automatic 1st down. Eli & Phil we’re puzzled as well and someone looked it up for them.

I'd like to see this rule because I can't find it. I can find this:

Use of Hands or Arms by Defense: Passing Downs

ARTICLE 5. During a legal forward pass play in which the pass crosses the
neutral zone, if before the pass is touched there is a contact foul by Team
B beyond the neutral zone against an eligible receiver (other than pass
interference), the penalty includes an automatic first down.
