New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was born with the clutch gene, at least according to wide receiver Julian Edelman.
"It's in his DNA, his clutch gene. He's got it," Edelman said when asked how the 41-year-old Brady continues to thrive in pressure-packed situations, per Bob Glauber of Newsday.
Brady led the Patriots to a 37-31 overtime victory over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday's AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium. He finished 30-of-46 for 348 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions and clinched his ninth career Super Bowl appearance in the process.
