Patriots’ Struggles in Big Game
For the New England Patriots, led by rookie quarterback Drake Maye, the night proved difficult. Maye finished with 295 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, but he was repeatedly pressured by the Seahawks’ defense, which sacked him multiple times and forced a critical fumble that led to a defensive touchdown.
New England’s offense failed to score until the second half, and the team ultimately couldn’t overcome the early deficit.
Despite a late touchdown pass to Mack Hollins that provided some momentum, the Patriots’ season ended short of their bid to capture a record-tying seventh Super Bowl title.
