How about you watch this. At 12 seconds the ref already has his arms in the air indicating, a stopped clock, dead ball, and obviously a whistle. All before Delpit ever straightens his back, to take off running. An inadvertent whistle killed the play. Nothing to review

In fact, both officials are signaling dead ball on the sidelines

Again.... the ONLY thing that would make the play not reviewable is an inadvertent whistle. The first whistle isn't blown until waaaaay after the fumble recovery.

After he picks it up he’s on the sidelines waving. I hear no whistle. Sorry. It’s a fumble.

It's moot. The 'clear recovery' rule makes it moot. If replay determines there was a clear recovery then they can award the recoverer the ball, just not the yardage (or score); can't be advanced.

Hell, Greedy was 25 yds downfield before there was a whistle. All you are seeing is the ref marking the spot.
