On Tuesday, the Atlanta Falcons posted a picture of two of their players posing next to each other.
Jessie Bates and Mike Ford posed next to each other on the practice field.
Bates wears the No. 3 and Ford wears the No. 28.
Next to each other, they spelled out the score 28-3, the infamous lead that the Atlanta Falcons blew to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
In Super Bowl LI, the Falcons held a 28-3 lead going into the third quarter.
However, the Patriots came back to tie the game at 28-28 at took it to overtime.
From there, they won the game 34-28.
It has gone down in history as the biggest choke in the Super Bowl, and is a massive black spot in the Atlanta Falcons’ history.
Because of that, the Falcons try to avoid mentioning it at all costs.
However, they failed to notice it in their social media post until it was too late.
