It looks like it was declined because the hold occurred at about the 32 yard line, so the offense would rather the D take over at the 20 instead of the 22.
FYI: I'm not sure if that's how this penalty would be applied IRL, but that's my best guess as to what happened here.
Not at all.
It should have been a 5yd Hold on the D and an automatic first down for the offense and they should have retained possession. There was no return and thus no hold on a return so the turnover should have been wiped out!
Had it been a hold on the D they'd have gotten the ball at the 10. Touchback to the 20 minus 10 on the hold. Neither happened so it was a bug.
