Summary
Former NFL quarterback Matt Hasselbeck discussed the injuries of Super Bowl quarterbacks Sam Darnold and Drake Maye. Darnold has an oblique injury, while Maye has a right shoulder injury. Hasselbeck said Darnold’s injury is not painful and gets better as the game goes on, while Maye’s shoulder injury might be tougher to deal with. Both quarterbacks are expected to be good to go for the Super Bowl.
Our Reading
The game follows a familiar script.
Darnold’s oblique injury is nothing new, and he’s played through it before. Hasselbeck’s words of wisdom will likely be echoed in the Seahawks’ locker room: “It gets better as the game goes on.” Meanwhile, Maye’s shoulder injury is the wild card, and the Patriots will be hoping their young quarterback can shake off the rust.
Maye’s playoff struggles are well-documented, and the Patriots will need him to be at his best against the Seahawks’ stingy defense.
The result isn’t surprising by the end.
Original observation: This one always comes down to which quarterback can manage their injuries best.
