Atlanta Falcons Delete Social Media Post Referencing 28-3 Super Bowl Loss

News summary

The Atlanta Falcons faced a social media blunder when they accidentally posted a photo of players Jessie Bates III (No. 3) and Mike Ford Jr. (No. 28) standing together, unintentionally referencing their infamous 28-3 lead blown in Super Bowl LI against the New England Patriots. The post quickly drew criticism from fans who saw it as a painful reminder of the largest comeback in Super Bowl history, prompting the Falcons to delete the tweet shortly after it was shared. This incident reignited discussions about the lasting stigma of the Falcons’ Super Bowl collapse, which remains a significant part of the franchise’s identity nearly a decade later. Despite the mishap, the Falcons are focused on moving forward, entering a new era with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and aiming to build a competitive team after a mixed 2024 season. The deleted post highlighted how deeply the 28-3 loss continues to haunt the team and its fanbase, serving as a symbol of a painful chapter in their history. Fans and commentators widely noted the irony and called the social media mistake a glaring self-own.
