Drake Maye’s Super Bowl performance was not what he envisioned, throwing two interceptions and was sacked six times. Sunday’s game at Levi’s Stadium turned into one his worst outings.
Fox Sports’ Henry McKenna posted Maye’s comments on X on Monday. The quarterback said his wife was who he was looking forward to spending time with in the offseason. Fans reacted to it, especially after Tom Brady‘s statement about not backing the Patriots before reversing course.
“No wonder Tom Brady refused to root for him,” one fan tweeted.

“Should focus on not turning it over 10 times in the playoffs or not having the worst performance in SB history,” a fan wrote.
“Yikes,” another fan wrote.
“Whipped,” one fan commented.
“We get it, dude, you’re gonna be getting laid nonstop during the offseason,” a fan said.
“He was engineered in a lab to be a Patriot. LFG,” another fan commented.
Brady didn’t pick between New England and Seattle. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy ripped him on social media, while his former teammates called him out.
He changed his tune on Friday and said Patriots owner Robert Kraft had his back and wanted New England to win its seventh Super Bowl. However, Brady also said he’d give his MVP vote to Matthew Stafford instead of Maye if he could.
Mike Vrabel won’t let anyone blame just Drake Maye for Super Bowl disaster
Mike Vrabel spoke to reporters after the loss and shut down any attempt to make Drake Maye the scapegoat. The coach said it starts with the staff and goes through every position on the field.
Protection broke down and running backs couldn’t get anything going. Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson managed just 42 yards on 13 attempts, whlle wide receivers didn’t help out.
Vrabel stressed that he’s excited to get back to work with Maye. He told his team they’re 307 days into building something and that it’s fine to feel disappointed. Maye will enter his third season and the Patriots believe he has a lot more to prove after the Super Bowl heartbreak.
