Even if it had gone the other way it just becomes 16-10 and assuming the same drive 19-10 at the half. Really the Chiefs handled the Stains pretty easily.
People were more-pissed about the rule than the actual play; Twitter went nuts (non-Browns fans too) at the rule.
I have 0 idea why people are so against that ruling; if you fumble the ball and it goes out the opponent's EZ, it's a touchback just like any ball that goes out the endzone, by the attacking team (punt, kickoff, etc).
