"It wasn't pretty, but the star second-year quarterback Drake Maye and the New England Patriots are Super Bowl LX-bound. They struggled offensively, but he delivered in crunch time, and they persevered to take down the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. Maye didn't play up to the MVP-caliber standard we've become accustomed to this season against the Broncos. However, he managed the game well when Mother Nature threw a curveball at everyone in Empire Field at Mile High with a flurry of snow."
"Conditions in Denver quickly went from tenable to unbearable late in the second half. There was so much snow on the ground that the hash marks on the field became incredibly difficult to see. Yet, devoted Patriots supporters sat through it all, and Maye couldn't be more appreciative. "Shoutout to the [Patriots] fans," Maye told CBS Sports' Jim Nantz. "We've got the best fans in the nation, and we're going back to the Super Bowl. Let's go.""
Drake Maye and the New England Patriots advanced to Super Bowl LX after a 10-7 victory over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. Maye struggled to his MVP standard offensively but made crucial late contributions, and his rushing ability helped secure the win amid heavy snow at Empire Field at Mile High. Snow accumulation obscured hash marks and complicated play, yet a strong contingent of Patriots fans endured the conditions. During the Lamar Hunt Trophy presentation Maye publicly thanked the fan base, and the Patriots franchise’s long Super Bowl history and traveling support were on display.
