Drake Maye set an unwanted playoff record during the New England Patriots' 29-13 loss in Super Bowl LX, becoming the most sacked quarterback in a single postseason.

The Patriots quarterback took his 20th sack of the postseason in the third quarter, passing Cincinnati Bengals signal-caller Joe Burrow, who was sacked 19 times in the 2022 playoffs.

The record-breaker was a strip sack by Seattle Seahawks pass-rusher Derick Hall.

Maye, who was sacked six times by the Seahawks, would go to finish the playoffs with 21 sacks taken. The second-year quarterback also took five sacks in each of the wild-card round, divisional round, and conference championship games.

Seattle's defense caused problems for Maye all night, with the quarterback completing 27 of his 43 passes for 295 yards, two touchdown passes, two interceptions, and a 79.1 passer rating.
