The Atlanta Falcons and Bill Belichick will forever be intertwined. Belichick was the head coach of the New England Patriots from 2000-2023. During that time he saw an unprecedented amount of success.
While he’s now the head coach of the North Carolina Tarheels, he hasn’t forgot what he did to the Falcons.
Atlanta Falcons Ruthlessly Trolled By Bill Belichick And Girl Friend (Report)
The Atlanta Falcons are being reminded of their most infamous collapse by Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordan Hudson:
Weeks after Hudson was spotted wearing a shirt mocking the Falcons in New Orleans ahead of Super Bowl LIX, she doubled down on social media with another jab.
On Friday, Hudson posted a mirror selfie with Belichick, both holding coffee, captioning it, “Happy 3-28 to those who celebrate.”
The reference? The Falcons’ infamous 28-3 lead over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI, a game in which Belichick’s team mounted a historic comeback to win in overtime.
In the Instagram post, which was shared from Hudson’s account (@jordon), the message was clear and concise. There is no doubt that the Patriots’ 34-28 victory in that Super Bowl remains a defining moment in the history of the National Football League as well as a painful memory for Atlanta fans. Coach Belichick, now the head coach at the University of North Carolina, was at the center of that legendary comeback that led to him securing his fifth championship as a head coach.
In Chapel Hill, Belichick is just a short flight from Atlanta. That proximity won’t ease Falcons fans’ hearts. No matter how playful or calculated the nod was to history, one thing is certain- Belichick and Hudson won’t let the Falcons forget what happened on February 5, 2017.
