Someone put up a decent video on Lawrence's 4 interceptions in his first playoff game and 2 of them just don't happen if the receivers run the right routes and another was on an offensive lineman's block technique setting Lawrence up for failure. One of the Jags receivers is just mistake prone in his route running but sooner or later one would think he would learn or his coaches would change his route tree to lower the chances of his f ups costing the Jags.
In one case, the Jags receiver clearly did a stupid elongated in cut on the ball so easy for Charger defender to undercut him and get a pick on a nicely thrown ball. On another the Jags receiver ran too far and right near a Chargers defender when he clearly should have stopped and not even put Lawrence into position to make a stupid decision. Mostly on receiver but Lawrence should still have known better. A third interception was on the offensive lineman for a missed block/wrong technique. The 4th INT was on Lawrence.
One thing the Chiefs excel at and some of it is Reid and some of it is Mahomes is the receivers and line are much more likely to be doing the right things than most teams.
But the further the season goes along and more playoff games a team experiences, you would think the less unforced mistakes happen.
For the most part, the Chargers didn't stop the Jags at all. The Jags stopped the Jags. Chargers defense may even be worse than the Chiefs.
Chiefs should win since they have great talent on offense that do not make many mistakes, but Jags may score more points than most Chiefs expect if Jags don't shoot themselves in the foot again.
