It’s a moment Drake Maye and wife Ann Michael will forever remember.
Moments after the Patriots punched their ticket to Super Bowl 2026 with a 10-7 AFC Championship win over the Broncos, New England’s second-year QB found his favorite teammate on the field in Denver to celebrate, as captured in new footage from NFL Films of the snow-covered scene.
“Where are we going?” an elated Ann Michael asked Sunday as she embraced Maye, who replied, “I don’t know, we’re going somewhere.”
The longtime couple then paused to soak in the monumental moment together.
“You’re going to the Super Bowl!” Ann Michael expressed. “Oh my goodness.”
Maye, 23, then hugged his wife as he complimented her custom Patriots gear.
“I love you so much,” Ann Michael said before the pair shared a kiss. “Congrats, baby. I love you.”
There were celebrations aplenty Sunday after Maye and the Patriots advanced to their first Super Bowl since 2019.
The 2024 first-round pick went 10-for-21 for 86 yards and rushed for a game-tying touchdown in the second quarter.
A 23-yard field goal from Andy Borregales sealed it for the Patriots in the second half, which was largely impacted by the weather.
“We’ve got to go win one more. We’ve got more work to do. I’m so proud of this team,” Maye said.
Basement dwellers of the AFC East just a season ago, the Patriots went from worst to first under coach Mike Vrabel, who guided the team to a 14-3 regular season and a division title.
New England will face the Seahawks in the big game after Sam Darnold and Co. knocked off the Rams in the NFC Championship, 31-27.
It’s been a big year for Maye and Ann Michael, as the childhood sweethearts tied the knot in June before the start of his sophomore season.
The former UNC quarterback tossed 31 touchdowns against eight interceptions en route to an MVP nod.
Much like Maye, Ann Michael also became a breakout star this season with her “Bakemas” TikTok series.
“[She’s the] Queen of the North. Everyone loves her. She’s our girl,” Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy recently told The Post.
“… She is exactly how she seems. Very nice, very sweet.”
The Seahawks are favored over the Patriots in Super Bowl 60, with Maye grappling with a right shoulder issue that landed him on Wednesday’s injury report.
The big game kicks off from Santa Clara next Sunday at 6:30 p.m.
