In Super Bowl LI (51), the Atlanta Falcons blew a 28-3 lead versus the New England Patriots. It will be remembered as one of the most disastrous losses in Super Bowl history.

The Falcons will forever be ridiculed and known for it. Now, it seems like even the universe is now trying to get in on the joke.

After the Patriots and Falcons square off on Thursday Night Football, the longest-lasting partial lunar eclipse in almost 600 years will take place. It is expected to last three hours and 28 minutes, an uncanny and amusing fact.

Since Super Bowl LI, the Falcons have been inundated with 28-3 jokes. Just last week, the Falcons faced numerous Super Bowl LI references after falling behind 28-3 in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Every year on March 28, it is probably in the best interest of Falcons fans to steer clear of all social media.
