He was solid. Not spectacular and not a disaster.
Best I can figure is some recency bias - the drive where he gave up the sack came late and that's what people remember. But literally the play right before that he stood Bonitto up.
If the bar was 'adequate' I think he cleared that.
It really is a question of game conditioning. Did he get worse because he got tired or because the game was a shit show and nobody was focused at that point?

Looking at the 4th and 7 sack again, I don't know if he thought he had chip help from Perine (who immediately released instead of chipping) or if it was truly just an awful rep.
But Humphries was pretty solid, and I think there's a good chance KC rolls with him at LT in the divisional and sees what it looks like.
