It's pretty common knowledge that New England Patriots QB Drake Maye battled an injury to his throwing shoulder for nearly two weeks prior to the Super Bowl and may have been hindered by it. But one analyst and perhaps a contingent of fans believe that Maye and the Patriots hid the extent of it.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye doesn’t plan to have any surgical procedures on his throwing shoulder after receiving a pain-relieving injection before the Super Bowl.

Bill Simmons questioned whether Patriots QB Drake Maye was playing hurt in Super Bowl 60 after his "horrible" performance.

As expected, Seattle's many-headed monster at the line of scrimmage has teed off, getting consistent pressure on Drake Maye. The twist is that the pressures and hits and sacks are coming from entirely unexpected directions.

Maye and the Pats are looking for their first Super Bowl victory since 2018, and their first of the post-Tom Brady and Bill Belichick era. The Seahawks haven't won it all since 2013. Considering how low scoring the game has been thus far, whoever is able to get in the endzone first could decide who wins.
