Because it doesn't seem like Trevor played bad (based off his stat line) - unless I'm wrong in this analysis..?

Trevor had taken a few hits but nothing serious. Think they just thought it wasn't worth the risk and the game was over. I'm not 100% but think a few came out. 

Trevor played pretty well. Just fell into a bad hole 2nd Q and mistakes and drops kept the O off the field and the D couldn't get a stop.

Got a few scores in the 4th to make it look closer but game was over by the end of the 3rd Q.

The Engram fumble was bad and really hurt, but the Darby penalties were the official killer. Stopped them 3 times on 3rd down to give the ball back to Lawrence only down 11 with plenty of time left. But no, 2 defensive holding penalties by Darby on one drive giving them 2 free 1st downs and ultimately a TD. They went up 18 and that was ball game.

3 penalties on that one series.

Travon Walker sack on 3rd and 8... 12 men on the field penalty took away the sack and gave them 5 yards plus another chance on 3rd down. They would of had to punt.

The very next play on 3rd and 3 after the 12 men penalty, Incomplete pass, but Darby gives them a free 1st down due to holding. They should have punted again.

3 plays later, 3rd and 10. Short pass completed for only 1 yard. Would have forced them into a long Field Goal attempt, but nope another defensive holding by Darby. Free 1st down.

3 plays later, TD and game.

Lawrence and the Offense should have gotten the ball back with 3ish minutes left in the 3rd quarter. In what would have been a 10-21 score game.
