So I'd say it's less about guys like Wilson and Mahomes being 'clutch' than it is guys like Dak and Rivers being choke-artists.
One could argue it's 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other, I suppose.

I think that's true for sure.
But there are also examples of elite guys stepping up later in games after looking pretty awful earlier in the game. Mahomes in the Super Bowl is an example. He's got other games like that during his career as well. I've seen a lot of comments on here about how Elway would do that to the Chiefs. Play like crap for 3 quarters and then do incredible stuff in the 4th quarter to win the game.
