When the QB is Spiking The Ball he is inside the takle box and the ball does not cross the line of scrimmage. Why is this not Intentional Grounding?

@Gaz,
Is he spiking the ball in order to avoid being sacked?

@joefromchicago,
No, just to save clock time to get off one more play.

@Gaz,
Then it's not intentional grounding:

Intentional grounding will be called when a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage due to pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion.
