Drake Maye found himself under. Capable of bringing the heat with only four players, Seattle sacked, hit or hurried the MVP runner-up on 43.4% of his dropbacks in that game — a number that created a trickle-down effect on the rest of the unit and prompted Maye to go too much into 'hero ball' mode

Maye faced 43.4% pressure rate in Super Bowl; clean pocket is critical X-factor.

Drake Maye faced pressure on 43.4% of his dropbacks in the Super Bowl against Seattle, which created a trickle-down effect on the rest of the Patriots offense and prompted him to go into 'hero ball' mode. The source identifies keeping Maye clean as the critical offensive X-factor for Week 1, as Seattle's defensive line can bring pressure with only four players and keep dropping seven into coverage.
