SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Even with the biggest moment in Drake Maye’s career turning into the longest night of his football life, it’s easy to assume the young Patriots quarterback will get another crack at Super Bowl glory.

The Seahawks wreaked havoc on Maye, teaching him one harsh lesson after another Sunday in Super Bowl LX by pummeling him into three turnovers in their 29-13 victory.

But at 23 years old and just completing his second NFL season, Maye is a baby in the whole scheme of things. Some would even say he’s way ahead of schedule.

He’ll be back. The gut-wrenching hurt that was burning a hole in his belly Sunday will be all the drive he needs to make sure of it.
