New England Patriots lose Super Bowl LX, 29-13, after woeful offensive performance

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was asked for his message to his players after the loss.

"I reminded them that we are 307 days into what hopefully is a long, successful relationship and program and that it's OK to be disappointed," Vrabel said. "We have to be disappointed and upset together. I'm appreciative of them, thankful, grateful that I get to coach them."  

Earlier in the night when a fan ran on the field, the moment wasn't shown on the broadcast.

But fans in the stands captured cellphone video and a Getty photographer snapped a photo showing that it was Patriots rookie wide receiver Kyle Williams who helped chase down the unruly fan.

Rookie left tackle Will Campbell struggled throughout the game. 

After the game, he left without taking questions, according to Ben Volin of the Boston Globe.

Drake Maye spoke to reporters after the loss.

"I think that's the biggest thing about life is you're going to have times like this. It's how you bounce back. I think a lot of those guys in that locker room, they're going to use this as fuel," Maye said. "I think I would go to war with those guys any time, any day, anywhere. It's motivation to get back here and not have this feeling, and have what they're feeling out there."

Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker was named Super Bowl MVP.

Walker rushed for 135 yards and also had two catches for 26 yards.

Often the Super Bowl MVP goes to the winning quarterback, but Sam Darnold had just 202 yards and a touchdown.

Wide receiver Mack Hollins was surprisingly placed on injured reserve after the Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens in the regular season. On Sunday, fans learned why.

Hollins returned for the AFC Championship Game in Denver and is back on the field for the Super Bowl. 

On Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the injury was a lacerated spleen.

Patriots starters were introduced on the television broadcast as they made their way to the tunnel.

Once Jon Bon Jovi introduced the Patriots, "Crazy Train" by the late Ozzy Osbourne played over the stadium public address system and the team took the field wearing all white uniforms and silver helmets. 

Former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was introduced along with former Super Bowl MVP winners.

Brady, who grew up in California, won five Super Bowl MVP awards, including four with the Patriots.

The legendary quarterback made headlines this week for saying "I don't have a dog in the fight" and adding he was not rooting for New England. 

He changed his tune a bit Saturday night, posting on social media a picture with Patriots owner Robert Kraft, imploring him to win a seventh ring to match him.

A pair of former Patriots are, to the surprise of no one, going with New England on Sunday.

Rodney Harrison and Devin McCourty both took the Patriots as NBC went through its pregame picks. They were only joined by Fred Warner, a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, picking New England.

Tony Dungy, Jason Garrett, and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan all picked Seattle.

After two frigid weeks of playoff football in New England and a snowy mess in Denver during the AFC Championship Game, the Patriots' reward for reaching the Super Bowl is a perfect day of California weather.

There is almost no chance of precipitation on Sunday, and temperatures are around 65 degrees in Santa Clara.

Former Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler, whose stunning interception gave the Patriots a win over the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX, is in the house.

New England's social media team posted a video of Butler saying the team's signature phrase, "We all we got. We all we need" from field level.

The Patriots posted their inactives for the game, making it official that banged up linebackers Robert Spillane and Harold Landry will suit up for the Super Bowl.

Both have been dealing with injuries but told reporters this week they would do everything they could to play.

Wide receiver Efton Chism will not play after contributing in several games this season. He is inactive along with cornerback Kobee Minor, linebacker Bradyn Swinson, tackle Marcus Bryant, guard Caedan Wallace, tight end C.J. Dippre, and Tommy DeVito, who will serve as emergency third quarterback. 

Here is a look at who will be officiating Super Bowl LX.

Referee: Shawn Smith
Umpire: Roy Ellison
Down judge: Dana McKenzie
Line judge: Julian Mapp
Field judge: Jason Ledet
Side judge: Eugene Hall
Back judge: Greg Steed

Smith has been the referee for two Patriots games this season, and New England won both times. He was the referee for the team's Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants and also the divisional round of the playoffs against the Houston Texans.

Before the Patriots left for Levi's Stadium, head coach Mike Vrabel reportedly had one final message for his players.

According to Albert Breer of The MMQB, Vrabel opened his Sunday team meeting playing "Beautiful Day" by U2, which was played at halftime of Super Bowl XXXVI as the Patriots stunned the Rams. That game was played months after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, and the band displayed the victims' names behind them during their performance.

Vrabel was a player in the game. According to Breer, he told the current Patriots that it was a beautiful day for he and his teammates because no one expected them to win, much like this year's team. The NFL insider said Vrabel's final plan for Super Bowl Sunday was "Belief, identity, rage."

The Patriots and Seahawks have both designated a celebrity to introduce them at the start of the Super Bowl.

Jon Bon Jovi will handle the task for the Patriots, while Chris Pratt will do the same for the Seahawks.

Bon Jovi has long been a staple at Patriots games and practices, and his song "This is Our House" is played after touchdowns at Gillette Stadium.

The Patriots shared on social media videos of various players arriving at Levi's Stadium.

That included quarterback Drake Maye, who looked locked in as he made his way into the facility wearing a suit.

Just after 4 p.m., the team posted another video of Maye coming out of the tunnel to take in the view from the field. 

Mack Hollins is known for making an entrance on game day. That was no different on Super Bowl Sunday.

The veteran wide receiver's outfit paid tribute to the "Warriors" mantra the Patriots have been embracing leading up to the game.

Associated Press photographer Charlie Riedel captured Hollins arriving at the stadium.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, in his second year and first full year starting for New England, is set to become the second-youngest quarterback to ever start a Super Bowl.

Maye, who turned 23 years old in August, will be just 35 days older than Marino was when he reached Super Bowl XIX in 1985. Marino and the Dolphins lost the the 49ers that year.

If the Patriots win, he would become the youngest quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl. 

New England enters Super Bowl LX hoping to make NFL history.

The Patriots enter the game tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for most Super Bowl wins with six apiece. A win over Seattle would leave New England sitting alone in NFL history with seven championships.

In addition, the Patriots already have the most Super Bowl appearances in league history, with Sunday marking the team's 12th time playing at this stage.
