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.
While a great memory, you’re still missing more context. Look at yesterday. What the OP is saying is Burrow had 4 min on the clock and all he needed to do was as keep the chains moving and kick a game winning fg, or March down the field for a TD and a 2 score game. Game over. But your narrative is defense couldn’t get off the field. Both are true, but JB had the opportunity to ice the game.
Same thing for the AFCC loss to the chiefs. Burrow had the ball back at our 20 or so, couldn’t drive and we punted to Mahomes.
I won’t say he’s not clutch or he is. But I will say I trust Mahomes 100x more than I do Burrow in that situation. We ALL knew what was going to happen when we kicked our last fg and gave Mahomes 2 min and the ball. Why didn’t we all know that with 4 min left burrow was going to score a TD and go up 2 scores and effectively end the game?
