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?
You do realize Mahomes had less than 10 yards on his final drive yesterday? Are you going to say that’s clutch.
If we want to argue even more context, Burrow had another first down yet Yoshi dropped it.
Game situations are different. Burrow worked with 3 downs, Mahomes worked with 4. Burrow had to play mistake free, Mahomes could chuck it up because there was nothing left to lose. Yes I’m missing context but so are you.
It’s never just about one player. Burrow is clutch more often than not. I’ll argue last week against NE was one of his least clutch games of his career. I won’t say that about this game though.
