I say the Chiefs lost that ballgame on that blunder at the one-yard line at the end of the 1st half.
sorry for the bit of derailment here but frick KC
they burned my parlay card.
let me melt Dammit

I’d have melted like never before if they called it

Between this and winning off a coin flip technicality if the refs had called this a fumble then legit arguments the nfl would have been fixing things

No fumble. Mixon assumed the player that touched him was a KC Chief. Given himself up on play.

The blunder on the 5 yard line with 80 seconds left where they go from "maybe they let them score" to two straight sacks.

He got touched before he went down also. But when he is down he lays his right shoulder pad into the ground to give himself up anyway

Think you answered your own question there???
When did the whistle blow?

I don't know the rule, but my kneejerk is that a player who believes themselves to be downed (and actually making contact with the ground) who then lets go of the ball intentionally has given themselves up. But knowing the NFL, there's some super arcane rule on the subject.

Yes.
but would they even be in that situation had they gotten a TD before half?
or even a FG?
I don't know

After a couple of watches, I'm thinking maybe he did give himself up.

Mixon literally stands up with the ball and drops it after his knee was down.

Looks like 55(frank Clark?) reaches and grabs him on his way down which I believe would be down by contact.
If he didn't touch him though, at what point is he "giving himself up". Cause if he got up and ran to the endzone that very well may be a TD

Let's face it, the Chiefs end-of-half management today made Les Miles blush.
They seemed caught between 2 or 3 minds on what to do. Almost like they were listening to Romo.

Nope. Hit his own guy.

Unless there is a deeper description to that rule,
He fell to the ground, and:
clearly making no immediate effort to advance,

I think he gave himself up.

You can’t see it on the video in the OP, but he wasn’t touched by any defender.
I thought the whistle may have blown live, and even in the replay he clearly didn’t make an attempt to advance.
It wasn’t “giving yourself up” in the traditional sense, but it checks the box imo.
