7 of Lawrence's 14 interceptions this year came in his final 4 games (after the high ankle sprain). Sure, 1 of those was Engram's fault yesterday and there were several others through out the year that I didn't think were necessarily Lawrence's fault, but there was still a marked uptick in picks since that specific game/injury. That said, I don't think Lawrence's play was egregious enough in his final 4 games that he is the sole reason we lost each, but the down turn in his play (due to injury or for whatever reason you want to assign) certainly contributed. I think he was probably playing through significant enough pain to take a little zip off his ball or reduce his accuracy or a combination of things. Couple the downturn there with the defense's ability to defend the run falling off a cliff in the 2nd half of the year and several other factors including the lack of a short yardage, power running game and other roster deficiencies caught up. He'll be healthy to start next season and we'll very likely provide much better protection for him next year. He'll be fine and we'll be fine.
