That is over...A good example might be team near end zone throwing for a TD, and before Defense holds pass catchers, 5 yard penalty but time runs out game over....NOT ANY MORE....Now the clock would be reset plus 15 yard penalty or half the distance to goal.....Look for this change to take fans and teams by surprise thinking a game is over and D held, and Refs says Game Is Not Over......So Defenses holding several receivers and only getting a 5 yard penalty and TV Announcers saying that was a SMART DEFENSIVE PLAY. Well, IT IS NO LONGER A SMART DEFENSIVE PLAY. ...and lets face it, Dalton drops back and some teams hold 2 or more receivers.  THAT is now a 15 yard penalty and clock reset, time put back on clock for Dalton.  Defenses can no longer hold and hold and hold because it is 15 yards, not 5 yards. plus clock reset.

This was a direct result of the Ravens against the Bengals.  If I recall correctly, it was special teams.  With the punter deep in the endzone, EVERYONE except the punter held someone so the punter could just stand there with the ball allowing time to run off and preventing us an opportunity to get possession in field goal range.  Someone finally broke free and rushed, but it didn't matter at that point as precious seconds were gone from the clock.   That was the reason the time now goes back on the clock.
