Example: This exact thing happened last year with the Lions and Cowboys late in the year, about 2:05 on the clock before the 1st down play, I think it was the cowboys who gained about 7 yards but it was a holding penalty so they then had 1st and 20 but it was now at the 2 minute warning instead of 2:05. This gave them a way around the 2 minute warning being another timeout for the Lions. If you decline the penalty then any yards gained will still count. So violently hold on the play and force the team to choose between the yards or the clock
I can’t find the whole game or I would also provide video
