I don't buy that.
The flag wasnt in the air til the ball was in the EZ. I highly doubt he purposely threw an uncatchable ball on 3rd down with 2 minutes left in the SB when you need to convert to ice the game. Hoping for a flag there, especially after not getting a worse foul earlier in the game on another 3rd down, would have been foolish.
He was going to JuJu, saw the hold, still went his way, and pointed out the hold hoping they would call it.
