Patriots' Maye had injection for ailing shoulder before loss

"Maye, who was emotional after the game, was asked how his shoulder felt and said: "I shot it up, so not much feeling. It was good to go, and it felt all right." The injury seemed to affect Maye. He turned the ball over three times, with a strip sack late in the third quarter costly as the Seahawks quickly turned it into a touchdown for a 19-0 lead."

"The Patriots' offense was stifled by the Seahawks' defense for most of the first three quarters, with the protection in front of Maye overwhelmed at times. Maye and Co. found some rhythm in the fourth quarter that helped bolster his final stat line -- 27 of 43 for 295 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Maye was also sacked six times, which was a result, in part, of protection breaking down in front of him."

Drake Maye entered Super Bowl LX with a right throwing-shoulder injury and received a pain-killing injection before the game. The injury appeared to affect his play, including three turnovers: a strip sack late in the third quarter that led to a Seahawks touchdown and two fourth-quarter interceptions, one returned 45 yards for a touchdown. Maye completed 27 of 43 passes for 295 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions and was sacked six times. The Patriots' protection struggled, the offense was stifled for much of the game, and Maye had been limited in practice after the AFC Championship hit.
