The New England Patriots just pulled off the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history to take down the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in overtime.
And, you’d better believe that Twitter was crazy during this game. Until the fourth quarter, it featured plenty of Patriots mocking:

Then the comeback happened… and that turned into a lot of 3-1 jokes due to the 31 straight points scored by the Patriots.
The Falcons won 3 quarters
The Patriots won 1 quarter (+a minute or two)

There were also plenty of election-related jokes, crazy stats, reactions from celebrities, mocking of Roger Goodell and Donald Trump, and much more:

My favorite part was when Robert Kraft ripped out Goodell's heart and gave it to Brady to bite into and spit out like a sour apple

Only the Patriots could take a 25-point comeback and turn it into a joyless and inescapable beatdown by the end.
