Think of a scenario where Burrow got the ball with 2 min to go on the 30 and had to win us the game….now show me a time he’s actually finished it off…..I’ll wait. To me, THAT is the mark of a top qb.
Context matters- so looking at 1 score games and trying to remember the end of them starting with his 2nd season.
2021
Vikings- win with a field goal in OT, no TD needed. Feels clutch
Bears- come back within 3, defense never gets back off the field, ends on defense
Jags- ends on a walk-off field goal- feels clutch
Packers- lose in OT on 3 missed field goals, but Burrow didn’t do enough- not clutch
Jets- lose by 3 with defense not getting off the field (pretty sure this was the bogus penalty)
49ers- lose by 3 in OT, Taylor took the ball out of Burrows hands and ran it to kick a field goal. Defense gives up a TD to end the game.
Denver- win by 5. Don’t remember how this ended but I think defense got a few stops. So really no last minute burrow drive.
KC- win on a walk-off field goal. Burrow got the ball with around 6 or so minutes and KC never saw the ball again (includes 3rd and 27)- clutch
Ten- burrow connects on a 17-20 yard pass for the GW field goal after being sacked 9 times- clutch
KC- Burrow takes the ball over on his side of the field in OT after a pick and easily drives down for a game winning field goal to win. Clutch
Rams- Game ends with Burrow incomplete on 4th down. Not clutch
2022
Pittsburgh- crazy game, would have won it but missed XP, but doesn’t do enough in OT to win. Going to call this one a wash, but some might say not clutch
Cowboys- this one is fuzzy, but I vaguely remember us getting it close and Defense not able to get off the field to end the game against Cooper Rush.
Ravens- Burrow takes the leads 17-16, never sees the ball again. Ravens with with a walk off field goal.
NO- Take the lead under 2 minutes with a pass to Chase and long run after catch.
Steelers- one score game but Pit scored a TD late then didn’t get onside kick
Ten- got the ball with over 6 minutes left up 4. TN never got the ball back. Clutch
KC- win by 3 with the ball in our offenses hands closing them out on a 3rd and 11 to Tee.
NE- defense bails offense out on turnover at the end of game.
Balt- Hubbard yard dash. Rumble in the jungle. Defense clutch on this one.
KC- Burrow sacked on last drive. Never gets ball back. Defense with penalty to put KC in field goal position
2023
Balt- lose by 3, can’t remember the end of this one. Don’t think it was quite as close as the score
Rams- win by 3, but not sure how it ended (this was all a blur apparently)
Seahawks- win by 4 (can’t remember)
Bills- win by 6 but didn’t need a clutch drive
Texans- lose by 3, killer drop in endzone by Tyler Boyd. Defense lets HOU march down field for game winning Field goal.
2024
NE- lost by 6. burrow had chance at game winning drive but failed
KC- defense (refs) bail KC out with penalty. Mahomes completes less than 10 yards in the air on final drive. (I’m still bitter)
In summary: I count 10 clutch endings by Burrow, 3 non clutch endings by burrow. The rest were either defense not getting off the field or N/A
draw your own conclusions.
