Adam Thielan made the catch in bounds with under 2 minutes left. Holding and PI on Lattimore, but both penalties are declined since Thielan caught the ball and was tackled in bounds. Why did the clock never run??

A penalty stops the clock in the last two minutes, even if it is declined. Clock won't start until the snap.

Maybe It should have started on the refs signal. Typically, the refs signal about the same time players are ready to snap it. They are usually not winding it as soon as he ball is set.
