Should there have been an offensivepenalty on that last play

This article says there was definitely a hold by the Kansas City offensive line by Orlando Brown well before the late hit out of bounds put Kansas City in position to score the winning field goal.
Key play included a missed holding penalty by Orlando Brown - ( New Window )
they should definitely

address the league-wide holding issue during the offseason, but they won't.
Cincy O- line was holding all game

they were letting it go all game, and it is a good thing they didnt decide to start calling everything at the end.

Also, a couple of analysts and NFL guys online have said that when defenders use the rip moves that the cinci D-line was using, the refs rarely call holding
There could be a penalty on every play

Unless you want games with more yellow flags than points, I don't know what can be done about it.
It's literally in the rule book

that the rip move by the DL nullifies a holding call

There were a lot of calls that went the Chiefs way last night.

One that was blatant to me was that punt out of bounds by the Chiefs at the Bengals 7. The ref marked it out at the 7. The chains and blue line were at the 7. Yet, the ball was placed at the 6.

I didn't care who won that game, but the hold on the last play by the LT was egregious, and needed to be called. Without it, Mahomes might not even get out of the pocket. The number of offensive holding penalties called in the playoffs has been abysmal. And I'm not talking about minor stuff. I'm talking about bear hugs and outright tackles. There were at least three playoff games that had ZERO holding calls made, ZERO, despite incredibly obvious penalties that enabled plays to be made.

I have no doubt the NFL is telling officials to ignore these calls because they don't want QBs injured in the postseason. You can't tell me that the official to the QB's left didn't see, on TWO separate plays in the Giants Eagles game, the OG AND OT bear hugging Thibs and Lawrence (both arms wrapped entirely around them), and tackling Lawrence on one of the plays. Those two guys are his main (pretty much only) responsibility as a ref. He HAD to see it.

This.
QBs get paid and they are often the face of the franchise. High scoring games with lots of passes make most fans happy. So owners need to balance keeping QBs in one piece while still allowing for high powered pass offense without turning defense into a total joke.
It's tough on officials because the exact same holding call will be blown or not depending on who is playing qb and where we are in the season and the game.
Thought this during the game

As Mahomes steps up in the pocket to run, Brown has both arms outside the shoulder pads of 91. Should have been offsetting penalties and a replay of the down.
Don't hit the QB when he is out of bounds

It was a blatant and stupid penalty that is going to get called EVERY time.
