Keeping a back in or chipping on Browns side makes a MASSIVE difference.
To some degree that's on Mahomes. He needed to recognize the speed advantage the Chargers had set up on that side, especially with only a 3-man rush (plus the blitzing DB). He could've motioned Williams to the other side of the formation and had him come off Brown's left shoulder to slow that speed rush down.
Ultimately the majority of blitz issues fall on the quarterback to either throw into the spot that's vacated or adjust the protection to pick it up. Asking Brown to just beat a much smaller, faster player to the edge is asking quite a bit and it's just not something he's going to do with any regularity.
