We did not play well enough to win the game... this play is NOT why we lost. But it also could easily have been called a fumble.
Let's look at it another way. Mixon quickly jumps up after stumbling down. If he had immediately run into the endzone instead of dropping the ball would the refs have "let the play continue" as they are taught to do and then go back and review?
My guess is if he runs into the endzone instead of dropping the ball, the refs would have let the play roll and it would be called a TD after review... so why not review it as a fumble? At least one chiefs player (the one who recovered the ball immediately) had enough sense to wonder if he wasn't down.
