The consistency part is the one I can agree with the most, for sure. But also, at that point in the game, it was the biggest play in the game. You can't let a game changing penalty go uncalled.

I think, as someone who watches a lot of football, you want to see the SB games called the same way all season. But there's so many casual fans watching the SB that the league doesn't want so many flags.

No, it's not flopping. The Chiefs ran the same route when they had a player isolated on one side of the field several times in the game and Philly had no answer. Toney already scored a TD on the same play on the opposite side of the field. If Bradberry doesn't grab Juju, it's an easy touchdown. You can't even say it was uncatchable, because the hold happened first, and if he wasn't held, Mahomes throws a different pass.

Holding occurs before the ball is thrown, it doesn't matter if the ball is even thrown at all, or if it's thrown at a different receiver. Pass interference has to be on a catchable ball. But Mahomes saw the hold and just threw the ball in JuJu's direction to draw attention to the hold.
