Shough's fourth-quarter collapse vs. Raiders raises clutch concerns despite MVP-caliber early play.

Shough played like an MVP candidate through the first three weeks but his fourth-quarter clutch gene disappeared in Week 4's loss to the Raiders, where he threw a critical interception that led to a Raiders touchdown and fumbled again after that. The source notes the Saints are good enough to beat very good teams when Shough plays nearly flawless football, but not good enough to hang with playoff-caliber teams when he makes multiple mistakes, raising questions about his consistency and late-game decision-making.
