"The New England Patriots are licking their wounds after being crushed by the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Patriot Nation is still in a state of shock as Coach of the Year, Mike Vrabel, and Drake Maye are picking up the pieces after their Cinderella season that came to an end before midnight on February 8. Keenan Allen of the Chargers is also still lamenting their loss to the Patriots in the Wild Card Round."
"If the saying 'misery loves company' is any consolation, at least others, like Allen, are sharing the pain, though nothing can compare with a Super Bowl loss. No loss in any other game or games is felt more acutely than coming up short in the last and most important game in US sports. Regardless, the Patriots must be on to 2026, leave the tears and disappointment behind, and begin building toward a repeat appearance with a better result next season."
