"Before the Patriots scored their first touchdown of the game, Collinsworth had this to say about Maye and how lackluster he had been up until that point: "Maybe there was no chance that [the Patriots] were going to win this game, but there were some chances to get a little momentum going at some point on offense, and they never did. I said Drake Maye has to be great tonight. He has not been.""
"but Maye threw an awful pick, essentially icing the game. Collinsworth had no clue what to tell the viewers after that interception and said as much on the broadcast. "Uh, I've got nothing for you here," Collinsworth said. "There's just no way that ball was going to be completed. And it really wasn't that close to desperation time yet where you have to put it in harm's way.""
Drake Maye and the New England Patriots struggled offensively in Super Bowl LX and lost 29-13. The Patriots trailed 9-0 at halftime as Maye failed to establish consistent momentum. NBC commentator Cris Collinsworth openly criticized Maye’s performance, saying Maye had to be great and had not been. Maye completed two long throws, including a touchdown to Mack Hollins that temporarily narrowed the gap, but later threw a costly interception that effectively sealed the game. The offense produced few sustained drives, and the late turnovers prevented any realistic comeback. The final result confirmed the Seahawks' defensive dominance and the Patriots' offensive shortcomings.
