Primetime games. Games against the Steelers. He just doesn't elevate his play.

Maybe one day he will...but he's almost 30 years old.

Meh, I think he has gotten better in the regular season, primetime included.  Didn't he and Green go off against Pitt at PBS when our defense decided to let the Stoolers run roughshod all over us with the same power sweep play Vince Lombardi was running in the 60s?

In fact, "17 game-winning drives  90.4 rating in prime time since the 2.0 game (9 games)".   (borrowed from Shake's sig)


Playoffs?  That HAS been an achilles heel.  I think he was poised to shed that monkey in 2015, but we'll never know, unfortunately.
