The New England Patriots were a clear dynasty in its heyday, winning six Super Bowls. However, their most impressive one came against the Atlanta Falcons when they made an incredible 28-3 comeback victory in just over a quarter.
That has made it really easy for those involved to troll the Falcons relentlessly for what is possibly the worst collapse in sports history.

One such way the Falcons get trolled for the game is each year on March 28, better known as 3/28 in reference to the score.
This year, Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordon Hudson collaborated to troll the team by posting a picture on social media celebrating "3-28 Day" with Hudson wearing an Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl 51 champions shirt.
The shirt is a fascinating touch, as it must've been one that was made in preparation for a Falcons victory, so it is likely a rare collectible to have.
Even though the game occurred over eight years ago, people still troll the Falcons for it, especially members of the Patriots team and fans.
Nobody who watched the game will ever forget it, but celebrating a whole day on it and a troll post for it seemingly happening every year will make sure nobody forgets what happened on that fateful day, especially members of the Falcons organization and fans.
While Belichick hasn't been as much in the NFL limelight since taking a job at North Carolina to coach college football, he has been the center of attention a lot recently due to dating Hudson, who is just 23 years old.
He's been the recipient of plenty of trolling of his own because of the unique situation, but clearly, it doesn't bother him much as he is open about trolling others himself.
With the Patriots moving on from seemingly everyone from that Super Bowl victory and Bill Belichick moving on in his own right, 3/28 day can serve as a nice reminder each year for Patriots fans of the good old days.
Until the team gets back on track and is competing for Super Bowls again, fans won't have much else to hold onto.
Every other fan in the NFL, especially those who hated the Patriots when they wouldn't stop winning, is likely sick of the joke at this point though, and would rather forget all about the dynasty.
Overall, it will be interesting to see how many years it will take for this joke to die down, but for now, Patriots fans will gladly see more of it each year.
