The initial ruling on the TD was out of bounds...which was made by the official closest to the play. NFL has put an emphasis on not overturning the refs with reviews this year...which is bizarre. When the 2nd ref changed the call...it essentially sealed the deal.
I dont think Denver would have even challenged that he was in bounds if the initial call stayed incomplete.
There is no guarantee the Donks score a TD if that play was called correctly...holding, turn overs, goal line stands happen all the time in the red zone.
I'm trying to think if KC has ever had a game winning TD awarded to them on a controversial call...I cant remember it happening.
