Explain grounding to me

Ok. Bama QB was flushed out of the pocket and threw the ball into the ground and it didn’t get to the LOS. It was not a screen pass. The receiver was 10-15 yards down field. Why is that not grounding?????

In the earlier game, a QB was hit while throwing and the ball weakly squirted out and he WAS called for grounding. It was obvious he didn’t intentionally throw the ball into the ground.
