    Is Ben Roethlisberger more clutch than Tom Brady and the rest of the league? I've created a new measure to test quarterback "clutchness". FInd out how Eli Manning faired.

    Hey Dan,

    Glad to see a huge New York Giants fan take the time to write an MMA article. I would say you caught everyone's attention with your Lesnar piece. Let me know if there is anything you need.
