Drake Maye is playing to win the Super Bowl this weekend. Although, that’s should go without saying.

That didn’t stop one reporter from asking the New England Patriots quarterback if his team was in it to win it during Super Bowl media day on Monday. Watch Maye react to the question below.

“Are we playing to win? What else would we be playing to do?” Maye asked the reporter. “Yes, that’s the goal of us coming out here. (We’re) coming out here to win the game, and that’s the number one priority. (I’m) looking forward to getting a chance to have a great week of practice and get a chance to play in the Super Bowl.”

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was asked a similar question regarding the “must-win” nature of Sunday’s Super Bowl. Like his QB1, Vrabel’s answer was matter-of-fact.

“I think every time we go out is a must-win game,” Mike Vrabel said. “It’s kind of the attitude I’ve always taken in the National Football League.”

Sunday will be the 12th time that New England appears in a Super Bowl, but the first with Vrabel’s regime. Additionally, the Patriots will be looking for its seventh Super Bowl victory and the first post-dynasty.

Bill Belichick and Tom Brady combined for six Super Bowl wins between 2001 and 2018. 2018 was also the last time New England was in the league championship game.
