Narrative:

A visual approach was flown by the captain. After touchdown the captain (PF) continued to hold back pressure on yoke maintaining nose high attitude, resulting in my saying, '..., don't hold nose off or you will drag the tail.' after leaving the runway the flight attendant call chime rang and a flight attendant came to the cockpit saying we had possible drug tailskid on landing. On taxi into gate all normal checklists were completed and maintenance was called via radio by me. I stated we had possibly drug tailskid. They replied someone would be sent to gate to check aircraft. Once aircraft was parked, logbook entry was made by me stating possibility of tailskid drag on landing roll. I have no analysis to offer.
