The first interception had an empty backfield with 2 wide receivers on either side and Mizzell in the slot on 2nd and 15. I am not sure why they keep pushing Mizzell into the game, Cohen should have been in there.
After the snap you see 2 receivers and Mizzell run a quick curl route with multiple defenders heading towards them. Remember it is 2nd and 15, none of these receivers will get us a first down. That leaves Mitch with 2 options and he never even considers the receiver on his right thats in man to man coverage because the pocket is starting to collapse.
Mitch goes to the only guy available with a chance at getting us a first down and, I believe, in trying to avoid the linebacker crossing the field he overthrows him for a pick.
On the 2nd pick its 3rd and 10, once again the Rams have all of their corners/safeties back in a prevent. You have a single receiver wide right. The Rams will be expecting the throw to go here.
When Mitch actually throws the ball the receiver does look like he will be open on the sideline.
Unfortunately Mitch tries to lead the receiver out to the first down marker instead of throwing it along the sideline where only he can get to it. Again this is a bad play call and doesn't give Mitch any options for a successful 1st down attempt.
On the final interception, we again have an empty backfield, Cohen is in as a receiver and Burton is in the slot.
Cohen is covered, Shaheen on the left doesn't turn around and Braunecher would probably be the better option here on 2nd and 8.
Once again, Mitch is trying to throw over a linebacker and floats it.
I think he needs to stop trying to throw over linebackers and lead his receivers to places outside of their routes. Hopefully things are better against the Packers.
