If juju doesn't get held, he comes out of that break wide open. Bradberry helps himself keep position as much as he hinders juju. And so juju will have yards of separation and Mahomes can just flip that ball to the front pylon for an easy td. Where the ball ended up is irrelevant to a defensive holding call. And that is what most of the analysts I've seen arguing against the call being made are missing.
Also, the ones saying, did they call any earlier in the game? The one juju complains about a no call would have been PI and wasn't on a break. And then funny enough all the other no call replays they used were eagles players getting away with could have been calls. Never did they show any chiefs players committing infractions that could have been penalties.

I think it was an option route, if he comes out of the Whip route and he's wide open, as he would have been without the hold, Mahomes puts it on his front shoulder and he gets the 1st down. If he is covered tightly he then turns it up in the wheel. He was held on both moves, period. It was the right call.
