Wednesday on Undisputed, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe talk about a new PFF study that found Deshaun Watson to be the most clutch QB in the 2019 regular season and playoffs. Bayless proclaims that if not for Watson's ability to perform in the clutch, Bill O'Brien would have already been fired. Bayless goes on to argue with Sharpe, proclaiming that Watson was more clutch than any QB in 2019, and PFF's numbers back it up. The PFF study included single score games in both the regular and postseason which only included stats posted in the 4th quarter and overtime. Nobody had a bigger sample size than Watson, and he posted a stat line of 66 for 88, 909 yards, 8 TDs and 1 interception. Check out the video to learn more.
"Deshaun Watson was the clutchest QB in 2019. He just keeps doing what he did twice at Clemson vs. Saint Nick's defense. If you look at the numbers, it's not close. I can't even put the GOAT in this conversation if we're talking about clutch time in 2019."

There were two outs in the inning when Carter scored on a ground-rule double by Ezequiel Duran to push the lead to 2-0.García’s third homer in the last four games put Texas ahead 3-0 with two outs in the third inning.
