It took three quarters, but the Patriots finally got on the board in Super Bowl LX. Trailing 19–0, Drake Maye connected with wide receiver Mack Hollins and sparked some life back into New England fans watching at home.
But just as fast as the joy came, it was immediately followed by confusion. Rather than go for two and attempt to cut the Seahawks’ lead to 11 points—thus making it possible to tie the game with a field goal and another touchdown and two-point conversion—coach Mike Vrabel elected to kick the extra point to make the game 19–7, meaning New England still needed at least two touchdowns, no matter what else happened.
