Tom Brady Is the NFL's Most Clutch Player

There is no question about it: Tom Brady is the NFL's most clutch player and could quite possibly be the NFL's most clutch player to ever play the game.

Brady and the Patriots had ice in their veins when they stepped onto the field with 2:31 left on their own 20-yard line trailing 16-13. 

After going three-and-out in the offense's previous possession, Brady simply turned into an immortal. No. 12 completed eight of his final nine passes for 78 yards, concluding with an eight-yard bullet to Aaron Hernandez in the back of the end zone for the game-winning score. 

Brady's phenomenally orchestrated drive is just one of his 33 career game-winning drives. To sum it up: Tom Brady is a winner, he demands success.

New England's come-from-behind 20-16 victory over the Dallas Cowboys was not the team's best played game, especially for Brady, but they responded well when they faced adversity.

Throughout the game, Brady was knocked around by Rob Ryan's defense a total of 15 times while being sacked three times—but he responded like a true champion.

Brady finished Sunday's game with an 82.3 quarterback rating while completing 27 of his 41 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns. H was intercepted twice—but he executed when the team needed him the most.

The 2010 reigning MVP and the New England Patriots will now have this week off as they prepare for a visit against the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 30.
