Things are not looking god for Drake Maye ahead of Super Bowl LX.

Amid terrible conditions last week, Drake Maye is coming off one of his worst-played games in his short career. Helping him along the way was the Denver Broncos not having Bo Nix due to him being out for the season.

Could the Patriots have their own quarterback issue ahead of the Super Bowl?

The second-year signal caller from UNC has Patriots fans thinking he might be the second coming of Tom Brady. New England has two weeks of rest before hitting the field at Levi’s Stadium. They got here with an ugly victory over the Broncos. Maye wasn’t spectacular in a snow-filled, ugly 10-7 victory at Denver with only 86 yards passing.

However, it was the 65 yards rushing that made all the difference. That came despite him creating that play for himself. According to The Boston Herald, Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels called a different play in that moment.

With all of the hoopla surrounding Drake Maye, there appears to be an issue with his body. The Patriots will need the very best from Maye to beat the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. But perhaps more importantly, they need him to be as healthy as possible.

Mike Vrabel Sidesteps Drake Maye Injury Questions

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was asked about Maye’s rumored shoulder injury. This came live while on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show. He kept his answer short and to the point, yet he didn’t actually answer.

“There’s not a player on our team that’s 100% healthy,” Vrabel said. He was then asked whether Maye was healthy enough to “play at a high level.” Vrabel responded, “I would imagine we’ll go through the injury report, and whenever we have to turn that in, we’ll turn it in. But, nobody’s 100%, this will be our 21st game.”

An NFL doctor then made things worse with his assessment of Drake Maye’s shoulder. David J. Chao says he is “far more concerned about Maye’s shoulder than Sam Darnold’s oblique.”

Sam Darnold has been dealing with an oblique injury since the start of the postseason. It is clear that neither quarterback will be fully healthy. Either way, both will be looked upon to work through it and help their team to victory.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
