How It's Calculated

Clutch Factor = Game-Winning DrivesOpportunities
Opportunity: the QB's team has the ball, tied or trailing by 1–8 points, with the drive's first play in the 4th quarter or overtime.
Game-winning drive: that drive ends with the team taking the lead — and the team goes on to win the game outright. Judged at the moment the drive ends; no credit for a tie, and none if the opponent answers back.
Multiple GWDs in one game: if the opponent retakes the lead after a QB's go-ahead drive and that QB's team responds with another late go-ahead drive of its own, both count — each one is judged independently, the moment it happens.
Roster includes 47 current QBs (25+ attempts this season, or established starters/backups) and 17 legacy QBs (career attempts at or above Carson Palmer's mark, plus notable additions).

Excluded

  • Kneel-downs, entirely
  • Drives starting before the 4th quarter
  • Losses, even with a go-ahead score
  • Ties

Included

  • Regulation & overtime walk-offs
  • Rushing-only drives (attributed to that game's starter)
  • Drives with one stray pass from a backup/trick play
