Ann Michael Maye, the wife of New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, is ready to move on from a crushing defeat in Super Bowl LX.
Drake Maye had one of the worst performances of his career in the game – turning the ball over three times resulting in a 29-13 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks.
Reflecting on the defeat, Ann Michael had a more positive outlook on the campaign behind them and wished to move forward.
‘Not how we wanted it to end but still thanking God for this incredible season,’ Ann Michael wrote Wednesday on Instagram.
‘We are blessed to be surrounded by such an amazing group of people, who made this season what it was. This is only the beginning!!’
After a regular season where he earned well-deserved consideration for the Most Valuable Player award, his playoff performance was not up to par.

The Patriots turned the ball over three times in Super Bowl LX in one of his worst games ever
New England under Maye was able to beat strong defenses like the Houston Texans and the Denver Broncos in the run to an AFC Championship.
But in the Super Bowl, Maye completed 27-of-43 passes for 295 yards and two late touchdowns.
However, he also threw a pair of interceptions – including a pick-six – while also fumbling the ball away.
Maye, the third-overall pick in the 2024 draft, admitted that he’d want to change his play in the biggest game of his career.
‘I’d like to go back to the beginning and redo it,’ Maye said of the game.
However, he also called the loss a ‘learning experience’ and vowed to get back to a game that Patriots fans have been used to appearing in.
‘Appreciate the fans, their support. I know I didn’t play as well as I would’ve liked down the stretch,’ Maye said, according to NBC Sports Boston.
Maye also said, ‘I think you can use it as a learning experience. It’s an experience I’ll have a chance to remember for the rest of my career, the rest of my life.

‘But it’s a chance to go and battle back from something that didn’t go your way, you wish would’ve gone different.
‘Gives you fuel to remember that and it gives you something to work for.’
2025 was a big year for Maye. Not only did it mark the start of the best year of his NFL career, but he also tied the knot with Ann Michael in January.
The couple had been childhood sweethearts before they got married.
