"I couldn't even tell you firsthand what happened in the last 15 minutes. But reading about what developed near the game's conclusion, it appears Maye came alive. His performance in the fourth was literally unprecedented, with his 235 passing yards setting a new record for most in one Super Bowl quarter. That's amazing! When I was paying attention, it sure looked like Seattle was eating him for breakfast, brunch, lunch, mid-afternoon snack, dinner, and late-night treat."
"I apologize for this oversight in the line of duty, but since I didn't bear witness to such a peerless performance, I asked my editor to cut together the key plays of Maye's fourth quarter. We're on a tight deadline, so it's going into this piece after I turn in the draft. But I'm sure it's filled with the kind of competent, sure-handed signal-calling that led the Patriots all the way through such a challenging path to the AFC title."
Many neutral viewers found the Super Bowl boring and spent the game hoping Drake Maye would make a play for the New England Patriots.

The compiled highlights emphasize competent, sure-handed signal-calling and the version of Maye Patriots fans deserve.
