In the regular season? Yea, maybe he does make the reads and lead them back from 2 scores. But the playoffs? You could feel entire organization had a shirt collar that was shrinking around the neck in real time.

That does not mean Baltimore choked. Because they didn’t, IMO. It means the Chiefs strangled the game from them.

Lamar choked.

The interception was a choke. The 2 or 3 balls he had guys on that he simply missed the throw on was a choke.

He didn't play at the level he'd played at all season. It's a textbook choke.

It's one of those things that happens under pressure. Muscle memory is a bitch.
