""You take it for granted. Just what a beautiful sport. The best sport out there.""
""You take it for granted, man," Maye said postgame. "You take it for granted. Just what a beautiful sport. The best sport out there. This game, it's brutal. There's times with injuries and losses that weigh on you, but this winning feeling, there's nothing like it. Coach reminded us of that pregame. He said, 'You can't buy that back, winning in that locker room.' At his age, he always says, 'I wish I could suit up again.' You just can't buy that. He said, 'You can buy anything else in life, but you can't buy this time we're in right now.' And what a time it is.""
Drake Maye rallied the New England Patriots to a 28-24 comeback victory after trailing by 11 points in the fourth quarter. The team faced significant adversity, including recent collapse against Buffalo and multiple injuries that depleted the roster during the game. Head coach Vrabel urged players to relish the moment and the unique feeling of winning together. Maye described football as a beautiful but brutal sport, noted how injuries and losses weigh on players, and echoed the coach's point that the experience of winning in the locker room cannot be bought or replaced.
