Patriots' Drake Maye received shoulder injections before Super Bowl loss to Seahawks

New England quarterback Drake Maye said he received shoulder injections before Sunday's 29-13 Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

"I shot it up, so not much feeling," Maye said when asked how his shoulder felt. "It was good to go, and it felt all right."

Heading into the Super Bowl, Maye was limited in practice with a shoulder injury he suffered in the AFC championship win over the Denver Broncos. On the team's initial injury report, the 23-year-old quarterback was listed as questionable with a shoulder injury and an illness that caused him to miss a practice.

Despite being removed from the injury report and telling reporters he felt well heading into the game, Maye struggled in the Super Bowl. Maye completed 27-of-43 passes for 295 yards, 2 touchdowns, 2 interceptions and a fumble, with most of his passing yards coming in the fourth quarter. Maye's second interception was returned for a touchdown and all but closed the game.

to make it easier for Maye to throw.

Patriots also had 2 players allowed to suit up who were accused of assault.

What was wrong with Maye and said “Maye is flinching” when he was taking snaps.
I thought that was a strange comment but now it makes sense.

that the Bronco's starting QB broke his ankle and didn't play one snap against them in the AFC championship game.

Robert Kraft can relax and go get a massage.

We couldn't understand some of his misses. If the refs hadn't screwed Buffalo in that Buffalo/Denver game, how differently things would have turned out.
