The pain from Super Bowl LI will remain inside Falcons fans until the team finally gets over the hump. Tom Brady led the Patriots back from a 28-3 deficit to steal the win back in 2017, and Atlanta has yet to fully recover.
On Sunday, the Rams did their best Falcons impression, blowing a 27-3 lead and allowing Brady and the Bucs to tie the game at 27 with under a minute left. This 24-point comeback bid eventually fell short as Rams quarterback Matthews Stafford found Cooper Kupp to set up a game-winning field goal.
Falcons Twitter had fun watching what could be Brady’s final game.
The crazy thing is this is only the second greatest comeback of Tom Brady’s career.

Is now the time to mention Matthew Stafford has 42 game-winning drives in his career?

Never a doubt. No one more deserving of a conference title game appearance than Matthew Stafford. Really happy for him.

Yeah, y’all can miss me with that.
