If Mahomes had fumbled before the goal line, it would have been Bengals ball at the 1 yard line if recovered by KC in the end zone. If recovered by the Bengals, the ball would have went out to the 20 and been Bengals ball.
The NFL rule for 4th down fumbles is that the offense cannot advance the ball if it recovers it and if it is in the last two minutes of a half the person who fumbled the ball has to recover it.
An odd rule is the ball is placed at the 1 yard line, not the 1 inch line, even if the ball was fumbled at the 1 inch line. That's in another part of the rule book. I'm not 100% sure of that rule, since I only read it once and it stood out to me, but I am sure what I put in the paragraph above.
