At that point, the touchdown wasn’t the better result because it was 3rd down and, without the penalty, the Chiefs would have kicked a field goal and given the ball back to the Eagles with decent time left on the clock.
Once the penalty happened and there was no way to stop the clock after the Eagles used their final timeout, the Eagles needed to give up the TD.
