I wouldn't call 190 yd and zero touchdowns in regulation in a playoff game clutch.
Leading your team down the field in overtime of a playoff game to score the game winning touchdown is the definition of clutch. Cousins got it done when it mattered most.
Nobody looks back at the 1981 NFC Championship Game and goes "wow, Montana got picked off 3 times, he was lucky to get out of there with a win!"
People say "Montana led the 49ers all the way down the field late in the game and threw it up beautifully to Dwight Clark to put the 49ers in front for good! That was The Catch baby!"
5 years from now the only thing that anyone will remember from this game is "damn, Cousins was clutch as hell in OT!"
