A small chip inside a soft air filled football cushioning it should not be difficult at all. I've had fitbits, earbuds, and other various electronics take far more of a beating falling multiple stories, bouncing off concrete and working just fine. I imagine the biggest force a chip inside a football would face would be when the kicker clanks an extra point off the upright.
Too bad Mythbusters is not still around to look into the matter.
