No.

Read the rule.

https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules...nal-grounding/

It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion.

That is the FIRST SENTENCE in the rulebook for intentional grounding.

Mahomes was not facing an imminent loss of yardage because of defensive pressure.

Ergo, not intentional grounding.

And then there's this:

Item 3. Stopping Clock. A player under center is permitted to stop the game clock legally to save time if, immediately upon receiving the snap, he begins a continuous throwing motion and throws the ball directly into the ground.

NOWHERE in item 3 does it mention any nuance in regards to the clock spike.

THEY MADE SHIT UP ON THE SPOT TO COVER THEIR OWN DUMB FAT ASSES
