"As if the devastating loss to the Seahawks in the Super Bowl wasn't bad enough for the Patriots to begin their offseason, now they're having to deal with random cheating allegations from a known hater of the franchise on top of it all. FS1's Nick Wright couldn't help but add controversy to New England's failed Super Bowl run when discussing the outcome of the game, highlighting Drake Maye's shoulder injury and what he believes was a "fudging" of the rules around injury reports before games."
"Nick Wright wants to see the NFL take draft picks away from the Patriots for "hiding" Drake Maye's injury He's certainly one who doesn't allow facts to get in the way of a good story, so it's unsurprising that, of all people, he would like to stir up something about the Patriots just to cloud their impressive season a bit more, and add even more frustration on the back of their heartbreaking Super Bowl loss."
Patriots lost the Super Bowl to the Seahawks and now face allegations that they hid quarterback Drake Maye's shoulder injury on pregame reports. Maye appeared on injury reports in the days before the game but was omitted from the final report released about 90 minutes before kickoff. FS1's Nick Wright accused the team of "fudging" the final injury report and urged NFL punishment, even suggesting draft-pick penalties. Maye later admitted shoulder soreness but practiced fully, indicating the injury did not prevent participation. The omission and public accusations add controversy to New England's offseason.
