  • On Sunday, Drake Maye committed three turnovers and took six sacks in a 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, with the Patriots scoreless until the fourth quarter.
  • History shows only seven of 36 quarterbacks who lost their first Super Bowl start later returned as starters, while Dan Marino, former quarterback, never got back after losing his debut.
  • The Seahawks' defense ranks fourth among Super Bowl winners in DVOA, forcing eight punts and a fumble on the first nine drives, while allowing just 78 yards through three quarters.
  • Kenneth Walker III won Super Bowl MVP after rushing for 135 yards and catching 20 yards, becoming the eighth running back to earn the honor amid 34 quarterback MVPs.
  • Some quarterbacks have returned from early Super Bowl losses to win later, including Jalen Hurts in 2024 and John Elway in 1997, offering models of redemption.
