Explaining the Biggest Meltdown In Super Bowl History

[@madeintheusa2687]

I remember going to bed near the end of the third quarter thinking this game was over... it was not.

[@CesarTrey]

Why would u go to sleep during the Super Bowl? 🤨🧐

[@xaxzer4117]

Going to bed early to save 30 mins during the superbowl crazy

[@YoungReezyonYT]

@@CesarTrey if it was 3-28 at the 3rd quarter id go to sleep too thinking the game was over

[@CallMeChetti]

please never use the blinking eye effect shit is so annoying lmfao

[@TheRoonie222]

Born and raised in New England. Went to my friend's campus apartment for the game the year after I graduated. At halftime I remember thinking, "Well, this is over. Time to just drink all my beer." Next thing I remember about the night is running out into the streets celebrating. I've had to go back and rewatch the second half to understand what happened.

[@mrnpcadam]

those slow blinks made me uncomfortable for some reason lmao

[@landonmeyer6774]

I remember being 13 walking home with my dad from my neighbors house after watching the falcons get trashed, we were silent

[@davidbarud9116]

Please, never use that eye-closing transition again...

[@the_axeman9391]

"What was it like to be a Falcons fan?" I imagine it's what drowning must feel like. One minute you're having fun with your friends, then you realize, almost without noticing, that you've been swept out to deep water. You try to swim back, to stay above the rising tide. You fight, but your body is sick and tired of fighting. You gasp for air, but you don't catch your breath, it just makes everything worse. Then this little realization hits that you're not going to make it through this, and it all starts to become fuzzy as you accept your fate. For context, Georgia sports was in a 20 something year title drought since the defending champion Atlanta Braves lost the World Series in 1996, but the next 5 year stretch was probably the hardest. Every team just kept falling short. The Georgia Bulldogs went on to lose the National Championship game in 2017 in a similarly heartbreaking fashion (please don't make any content on 2nd and 26), and the conference championship in 2018 after holding a lead or being tied for 59 of 60 minutes of that game. Likewise, the Braves got bounced from the playoffs three years in a row from 2018-2020. They missed the World Series by one game in 2020. Everything changed in 2021, for both the Braves and Bulldogs, and our soccer team won the MLS Cup somewhere in all of that, which has made this game a little less upsetting to remember. But until the Falcons themselves exercise this demon, even now, nearly a decade later, people still just can't help but talk about "the Biggest Meltdown in Super Bowl History."

That ad transition was beautiful even tho I saw it coming lol

[@MrMoose0987]

As a Carolina Panthers fan, I loved nothing more than watching the Falcons fall apart. Eff the Falcons. It sucked having to actually be happy that Tom Brady won (I will never forget the 2003 season...) but seeing Matty Ice lose was even nicer. Thanks for making another great video -- always nice to have a fellow UNC Pembroke alum ALSO be an awesome KZbinr with great football content. Keep it up!

[@psymar]

I feel like even people who don't like Tom Brady had to admit it was pretty farking impressive

[@MrMoose0987]

@@psymar Yup. Not at all a Brady fan but I do realize and acknowledge he is one of, if not THE best, to ever do it.

[@paulcgretired6245]

As a Panthers fan, do you know if John Kasay got a Game Ball from New England after SB XXXVIII? 🤣

[@Carson_TK]

As a lifelong Tampa Bay fan, I couldn’t agree more. The Falcons were literally HANDED that game and still lost. The 28-3 joke lives rent free in my head

[@jonathanpeppin8564]

I’m not even a Falcons fan and I was heartbroken … can’t even imagine what people in Atlanta felt

[@connermcgee15]

You had me in the first couple secs. I thought you were using the real soundbite.

I came out strong but it fell off

[@ghxst.6494]

as a niners fan, i've seen this repeat itself too many times

[@mrhumble2937]

A come back in a reg game is whatever. Tough but not everything on the line so a team losing doesnt have that pressure. In a sb with millions watching. Just insane.

ay u was really eating that sponegbob narrator accent tho lmao

[@IsaacPunts]

Hey, you clicked on a video with a big ol' 28-3 in the thumbnail, you could've chosen to have a good day 😂 but thanks for watching anyway!

No shit

[@alexandertracy8479]

By far the greatest game I have ever seen.

[@Huntersportsedits]

Falcons fans haven’t stopped crying since this day lol😂

[@SeleniumBalls]

This was my first superbowl that I actually payed attention to. Such an exciting game to watch, I'm a chargers fan so I has no stakes in this game, this game practically ruined all other superbowls for me because no other superbowl (save for the 2017's eagles win over the pats) could even come close to how investing this game was (in the 2nd half)

[@The_Major_Bwub]

As a Falcon's fan you making this video is an disappointment and my week is ruined!

[@dakotarutherford6758]

I remember my mom telling me to go to bed at half because it was 28-3 and plus a school night and I was like please let me stay up I think they can come back and she was like ok but I think it’s pretty much over….. yeah two quarters and overtime later NE had accomplished the impossible of the 28-3 comeback

[@flatriklm]

seems like interesting video but couldn't watch till the end cause of these blinks, my eyes just got tired after 5 mins or smth

[@paulcgretired6245]

The Gorilla in the Room is: How did (. .. . . or who directed) Atlanta's Vaunted Offense that was destroying New England "At Will", suddenly shut down at the end of the Third Quarter. One of a few mystery endings to a Brady/New England Championship Game (i.e. see kicker John Kasay; Carolina Panthers). Interesting!

[@Buasop]

That Falcons-Packers game was another ill-prepared Mike McCarthy coached team

[@lukebaker5475]

Explain in punting terms

[@IsaacPunts]

Falcons open the game with a 60 yard average on 3 punts and then brutally shank the next 4 so their average fell down to 32.5

[@mishnugget]

Dolphins fan so I fucking hate the pats and so does my fam. We were all rooting for the Falcons. I went to sleep at half time thinking the game was over. Woke up the next morning in horror.
