On Thursday, the NFL posted highlights from the 2016 New England Patriots’ comeback from a 28-3 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in overtime in Super Bowl LI.
Former NFL wide receiver Taylor Gabriel, who suited up for the Falcons that day, offered a humorous three-word reaction to the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history.
Gabriel did quite well and finished second in receiving yards (76) on three catches. He had a 24-catch to lead a touchdown drive that gave the Falcons a 14-0 lead. Gabriel later added catches of 17 and 35 yards on another TD drive that gave Atlanta a 28-3 edge.
Atlanta had its first Super Bowl title in its grasp, but the Patriots stormed back with 31 straight unanswered points.
Obviously, Gabriel and the rest of the 2016 Falcons (and any Falcons fans or Patriots haters) don’t want to see highlights from that day at any point.
Nine years later, the Pats are shooting for their NFL record seventh Super Bowl title on Sunday when they play the Seattle Seahawks.
