A mic'd up clip the NFL released after Super Bowl 60 may have revealed why New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye struggled so much in the big game.
The clip features mic'd up Seattle Seahawks safety Julian Love telling his teammates that he figured out a tell Maye has when dropping back to pass. The second-year quarterback appeared to be giving away his intention for where he wanted to throw the ball when he reached the top of his dropback.
"Classic young quarterback," Love says in the clip. "As soon as that back foot hits, he's going to where he wants, but he's pausing for a second to confirm that he's open."
Later on in the game, Love took advantage of his intel and intercepted Maye on a downfield pass attempt. He returned his interception 35 yards and back into Patriots' territory. It led to another Seahawks field goal to extend their fourth-quarter lead.
