Throughout 2026, New England Patriots<\/a> quarterback\u00a0<\/span>Drake Maye<\/a> has admitted<\/a> that he endured a “humbling”<\/a> experience as he and the Patriots suffered a 29-13\u00a0Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>this past February.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For a lengthy piece produced by NFL<\/a> insider Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, Maye expanded on all that went wrong for the Patriots on that fateful night.\u00a0<\/p>\n “The way that last game ended\u2026I feel like when our defense played the way it played, it gave us a chance to win,” Maye told<\/a> Breer. “It\u2019s my responsibility, with the offense, to put points on the board. When you feel like you don\u2019t do your part, that\u2019s what eats at you. What could I have done more after practice to hit that throw? I can think of five, 10 plays in the Super Bowl right now where you\u2019re like, ‘Man, this play could change your life.’ You win this game, and just knowing that that\u2019s gone, and how much work you have to put in to get back to that moment, it\u2019s just something that I won\u2019t forget. I think it\u2019ll help me.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Maye became a breakout star during the 2025 regular season as he guided the Patriots to a 14-3 record en route to finishing<\/a> However, the Patriots failed to find the end zone in that contest until they were in a 19-0 hole in the fourth quarter. In total, Seattle sacked<\/a>\u00a0Maye six times and forced him into committing three turnovers. His final giveaway resulted in the Seahawks scoring a late\u00a0<\/span>defensive touchdown<\/a>\u00a0that allowed casual viewers to call it a night and go to bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n As of Thursday morning, DraftKings Sportsbook had Maye and two others tied for fourth among the betting favorites at +1000 odds to claim MVP Award honors for the upcoming season. A 2024 first-round draft pick, Maye seems to believe all that he achieved as a second-year pro will prove to be just the beginning regarding his overall development.<\/p>\n “I think last year could be a small step, and I\u2019m not even talking stats-wise, but for me playing quarterback,” Maye explained. “It could only be a building block for what I think I can reach.”<\/p>\n If that ends up being true, he could ultimately become all that Patriots owner Robert Kraft hoped the signal-caller would be back in the spring of 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nDrake Maye believes Super Bowl loss will help him improve<\/h2>\n
