Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner had a surprising MVP pick for Super Bowl LX.

The Seattle Seahawks are set to take on the New England Patriots on Sunday. Heading into the game, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is the favorite to win the award, as Seattle is favored to win the game.

Yet, Warner actually believes receiver Cooper Kupp could win his second Super Bowl MVP award on Sunday.

“How about unlikely being, someone who would win their second Super Bowl MVP and not be a quarterback,” Warner said on NFL Network on Sunday. “Something that has never ever happened in the history of the Super Bowl. How about Cooper Kupp going and being Super Bowl MVP? Everything has been about ‘JSN’ (Jaxon-Smith Njigba) and rightfully so, he’s been incredible this year.

“But, Cooper Kupp has stepped up big in the playoffs, made a bunch of big plays. Including a touchdown in the Championship Game. How about Cooper Kupp, coming back to the Super Bowl and winning it again?”

Kupp winning Super Bowl MVP would be a massive surprise, as he has the 10th-best odds of winning the award at +8000.

However, if the Patriots focus on shutting down Smth-Njigba, perhaps Kupp does become the focal point for Seattle’s offense.

In the playoffs, Kupp has recorded nine receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown. He was named Super Bowl LVI MVP when he was with the Los Angeles Rams, as he had eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns.

Kick-off of Super Bowl LX is set for 6:30 p.m. ET.

The Patriots have traveled from the frozen grounds of New England to California’s sunny skies for a Super Bowl matchup with the Seahawks.

This trip to the Super Bowl will mark the Patriots’ first appearance in the championship game since 2019. The Seahawks haven’t played for the Lombardi Trophy since falling to New England back in 2015.

Patriots Super Bowl Appearances: New England’s History In Championship Game

The Patriots have a record of 6-5 in their 11 Super Bowl appearances. They beat the Rams in their most recent appearance (Super Bowl LIII in 2019).

Super Bowl LX prevented Drake Maye from attending another big game this weekend.

Maye’s alma mater has a huge rivalry matchup on Saturday night, as North Carolina will host Duke in a storied men’s basketball feud. Although the New England Patriots quarterback is busy preparing for Sunday’s Super Bowl, Maye recorded a message that ESPN showed to fans inside the Dean E. Smith Center during “College GameDay.”

“Tar Heel Nation, what’s going on?” Maye began the video. “This is Drake Maye. Looking forward to the big game on Saturday. You know I’d be there if I could. I got a little something else I’m focused on, but I can’t wait to watch the game. You know I’ll be cheering.”

Tom Brady sparked a controversy by initially taking an impartial stance on New England’s Super Bowl matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Maye didn’t make the same miscalculation.

“Heels on top,” Maye declared. “You know I’ve always liked the Heels. Go Heels, go Pats. And Drake Maye, always a Tar Heel.”

Maye spent two of his three seasons in Chapel Hill as North Carolina’s starting quarterback. He amassed 7,929 passing yards and accounted for 78 touchdowns (62 passing, 16 rushing) from 2022 to 2023.

The Patriots made Maye the No. 3 pick in 2024. He led New England to a 14-3 season and an AFC title while UNC went 4-8 under Bill Belichick.

Meanwhile, North Carolina’s basketball squad ranks No. 14 after improving to 18-4 with four straight wins. The Tar Heels can make a massive statement by defeating the No. 4 Blue Devils, who are 21-1 this season.

The UNC and Duke matchup tips off Saturday at 6:30 p.m. ET, exactly 24 hours before Maye and the Patriots play in the Super Bowl.

San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Mac Jones made it clear on Wednesday that he’s ready to be a starter again.

The Niners aren’t keen on the idea of moving the 27-year-old former New England Patriots signal-caller though, according to senior NFL insider Dianna Russini.

“For teams looking to swing a deal for 49ers backup QB Mac Jones, I’m told San Francisco is not looking to part with the 2021 first-rounder,” Russini wrote for The Athletic in a report published Saturday morning. “Things and offers can change, but the 49ers’ preference is to keep their Brock Purdy-Jones tandem intact for 2026. Jones’ 5-3 record as a starter amid the team’s major injury struggles helped keep San Francisco afloat, and Kyle Shanahan loves what he has in the 27-year-old.”

Jones appeared in 11 games and made eight starts for San Francisco during the 2025 season, posting a career-high 69.6% completion percentage with 2,151 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions.

The former 15th overall pick lost his starting job with the Patriots during the 2023 campaign and was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars in March 2024.

Jones finished the 2024 season with 1,672 passing yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions across 10 games, seven of which he started in place of an injured Trevor Lawrence.

The Alabama product signed a two-year, $8.4 million contract with the Niners in March.

According to ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel did his best to simulate Super Bowl LX conditions during Friday’s practice, including Bad Bunny’s halftime show.

Per Schefter, Vrabel sent the Pats back into the locker room one hour into practice and blared Bad Bunny over the stadium speakers for 14 minutes before bringing the team back out.

Vrabel’s first season as head coach of the Patriots delivered one of the most dramatic turnarounds in NFL history. Hired in January 2025 to replace Jerod Mayo, Vrabel took over a team coming off back-to-back 4-13 records and transformed it into a powerhouse.

The Patriots finished the regular season with a 14-3 record, tying for the league’s best mark and securing the AFC East title for the first time since 2019. They achieved a 10-game winning streak from Weeks 4 through 13, avoided consecutive losses all year, and went undefeated on the road during the regular season.

The offense, led by second-year quarterback Drake Maye, ranked second in points scored at 28.8 per game and third in total yards, while the defense contributed to a balanced attack that outscored opponents convincingly.

In the playoffs, New England continued its dominance, winning the Wild Card round 16-3 against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Divisional round 28-16 over the Houston Texans, and the AFC Championship to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LX against the Seattle Seahawks.

Vrabel’s leadership earned him the 2025 AP NFL Coach of the Year award (his second after winning with the Titans in 2021) making him one of just a handful of coaches to claim the honor with multiple teams.

Players and staff credited Vrabel’s culture reset, strategic vision, and ability to maximize a revamped roster featuring rookies and new additions.

With 17 total wins already (regular season plus playoffs), his debut year ranks among the most successful first seasons for any head coach in league annals.

The New England Patriots recruited some local legends for the hype video promoting their matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX.

New England shared yet another hype video to social media on Friday, including team legends Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Randy Moss, Ty Law, Adam Vinatieri, Willie McGinest, David Andrews, Tedy Bruschi and Malcolm Butler, Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz, Boston Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the Boston Bruins — as well as team legend Zdeno Chara, WWE icons Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and Kofi Kingston, and celebrities Mark Wahlberg and Kenny Chesney.

If you can’t guess the message by now, it was…

“We all we got. We all we need.”

New England previously recruited team legends Andre Tippett, Devin McCourty and Nancy Meier playoff hype videos.

The Patriots will look to ride their mantra to victory once again in the Super Bowl on Sunday, with kickoff from Levi’s Stadium scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET

Al Michael has called 11 Super Bowls during his legendary broadcasting career, including Super Bowl XLIX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks.

Nowadays, many NFL fans refer to it simply as “The Malcolm Butler Game.”

Butler saved the day for the Patriots during the game’s final minute, snatching Russell Wilson’s goal-line pass for a game-sealing interception. Eleven years later, it remains one of the most famous and shocking plays in Super Bowl history.

Fortunately, Michaels was ready for it and delivered a perfect call on the NBC broadcast.

“Play clock at five. Pass is…intercepted at the goal line by Malcolm Butler! Unreal!”

Most NFL fans didn’t know Butler’s name yet, as he was a rookie that year and only started one game. Thankfully, Michaels had done his homework according to his recent appearance on the “Fitz And Whit” podcast.

“Obviously, everybody remembers the one play at the end…What I remember about that too is that Malcolm Butler was like the number six or seven defensive back coming into the game. He was not a regular,” Michaels recalled. “Fortunately, the night before…I looked at like the last four or five guys on each roster just in case.”

Fortunately for Michaels, his preparation paid off. He correctly identified Butler for making the play and got the call right on one of the biggest calls of his career.

Michaels also said he thought the Seahawks’ play call should have been rolling Wilson out to the left to either pass the ball or run it in. Many think Seattle should’ve just handed the ball off to Marshawn Lynch, including his color commentator at the time, Cris Collinsworth.

Either way, the Seahawks made the wrong decision and Butler was ready for it. Thankfully, so was Michaels.

The NFL Honors presentation was held on Thursday night, and the New England Patriots swept up. Head coach Mike Vrabel was named the Coach of the Year. Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels brought home Assistant of the Year. But in the grandaddy of them all, the MVP award, quarterback Drake Maye came up just short.

It was the closest MVP race since 2003, with Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford barely beating out the 23-year-old Maye in his 17th NFL season.

But the most interesting part of the final results wasn’t that Stafford beat Maye by just one first-place vote; it was the fact that three voters in particular chose to use their coveted MVP vote to support a candidate other than the two most deserving.

Only 50 voters in the entire country received a ballot. Of the 50, 24 had Stafford as the winner, and 23 chose Maye.

Two voters decided to side with reigning MVP Josh Allen after he finished outside of the top ten in passing yards.

And one lonely AP voter gave his all-important vote to Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who wasn’t even a finalist.

Herbert had the fourth most interceptions in the league, a QBR in the 60s and a double-digit passer rating.

Because the voters’ ballots are anonymous, we are unable to see who finished in second place on these three inexcusible slips. It’s impossible to know for sure if those were Maye votes or not.

A first-place vote is worth 10 points, while a second-place vote is worth five points. Maye lost by a tally of 366 to 361.
