Why Didn't We Not Touch Kelce at the End of Regulation?

It would have been really smart and contrary to every football instinct, but watch last catch in regulation by Kelce.  He goes to the ground with about three seconds left.  If he isn't touched, refs can't blow whistle and KC can't call TO until the whistle blows.  Hey, I'm grasping at straws here but baiting KC into throwing to the middle of the field and NOT tackling the KC receiver could have been a viable strategy.

I understand concept of giving himself up but is that instantaneous?  When does the ref blow the whistle?

As soon as the guy goes down and the ref recognizes his intent. Could be instantaneous, especially if they inform him beforehand.

The refs can blow it dead if he gives himself up, which he did.

Doesn't even matter because they could review it and determine that he gave himself up with 3 seconds left to go, and they would put that time back on the clock.
