At some point, you're going to have to take the whole of it and not just pick out the parts you want and discard the rest.

Come on now...that was more on the Rams for being too aggressive and throwing the ball.
Sure, the defense got the ball back. Give them credit for that (even though the Rams gifted them a TO by throwing). And Mahomes certainly failed to take advantage by throwing his worst INT of the year.
But saying the defense was good in the last two minutes like you are implying just is not true.
Rams gave us an extra chance with poor clock management and some bonehead offensive play calling. Mahomes failed to capitalize on that and that is on the offense and him.
But if the defense gets a stop when it had the chance, the game was over. The Rams had NO timeouts left and we gave up an easy, easy, score.
