In addition, Jack Doyle, somehow seems to have aged badly.
That doesn't excuse the interceptions or the safety. But, going into 2020, any reasonable fan had to know that you weren't getting Rivers at his 25 year old best. You were getting a game manager who wasn't afraid to take chances.
That having been said, you can't really be surprised by what happened against the Browns.

Rivers no longer has the arm strength to really utilize Hilton best, the deep throws. Thats a big part of the problem.
