I'm not sure if anyone else is still confused about the 10-second runoff like I was, but just for the record, I looked it up, and that was called correctly too.
The issue is that the clock was moving WHEN THE PENALTY OCCURRED (as in, when the spike happened). It doesn't matter if the clock was stopped before the play because the clock started when Mahomes snapped the ball.
I really don't think that what we saw was really in the spirit of those rules, and it's clearly a rare situation, but technically the refs did everything correctly in this situation.
