Then converts the 2 point conversion to tie the game up. Opposing team drives down the field and kicks the game winning FG as time expires. According to YOU, Burrow was not clutch.
I'll say this, you're right about people misusing the "clutch" label but it's not the ones you think it is.
I'm saying there is no glory in a loss.
This was a career game for Burrow. Do you think he cares? Do you think he can brag about it? Sure you'd like to, and in a win you could. But that isn't how this works. No one gets defined clutch for their play in moral victories.
In your example yes, that is clutch. It just would get canceled out by the loss as many great individual moments by players are.
