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.

What could have been... who knows? Again, it was 1st and goal at the 4.
Play the odds and the way the backs were running, they very likely score a TD on 2nd, 3rd or 4th down if they go for it there.
And, there were 11 minutes left in the game - yes, it was the 'go ahead game winning score', but there were 11 minutes left - one could read your comment as if it's suggesting it were in the final minute.
I didn't think it was a TD and as you stated, the initial ref was overruled and then the replay confirmed the call. I also doubt DEN would have challenged it if he had been ruled out. Again, they moved the ball pretty well against SEA and likely (not guaranteed) would have scored on 2nd, 3rd or 4th down if they decided to go for it.
