The rules actually state that if a player intentionally goes down, the play is dead so the Jags could have called the timeout, provided the Ref blew the whistle calling the play dead in time.  I'm not certain if that was a 2020 rule change or a 2021 rule change but I heard it back a few weeks ago while watching another game.
