I would agree with the physiological explanation but only for one or two specific instances or at most for a game, not over an entire career.

This is a murky area. It is entirely possible that some people react much more favorably to the rush of adreneline in pressure situations. It might be possible for it to give someone a >100 boost to their baseline abilities. How many stories have we read about people performing above their percieved abilities in highly stressful situations? While others are crushed by them.
