Are there any film clips out there of Rule 9-3-4-e being violated?

"Defensive players may ward off or legally block an eligible pass receiver until that player occupies the same yard line as the defender or until the opponent could not possibly block him. Continuous contact is illegal (A.R. 9-3-5-I)." Does this rule ever get called? The AR mentioned is not applicable; it's about holding, not simply blocking a receiver on the wrong yard line.
