That's 14 out of 23 points that Campbell's mistakes directly can be blamed for. There's no excusing that.

Um. No. Things don't work like this.
If you want to use expected points, you can only put 3 on Campbell per INT. I mean, hell, they didn't even score off that turnover. You can dock him something for the fumble as well, but remember that he's not necessarily responsible for the recovery or the tackle, especially after the sack.
If Campbell turned the ball over no times, we might have saved 7 points. But a lot of that's just circumstance.
I'm fully aware the defense didn't give up 7 of those 23 points. But they also didn't let the offense on the field for the majority of the first half. That's on them.
