Years later, Patriots legend still has empathy for Falcons after Super Bowl LI loss

The Super Bowl LI matchup between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons will forever live on as one of the best Super Bowls in history.

The Patriots looked down and out, as Atlanta established a 21-3 lead at halftime. From there, the rest was history as the Patriots stormed back late with 25 unanswered points to tie the game and ultimately win in overtime.

Patriots fans and players will spend a lifetime celebrating that victory. The same obviously can't be said for Falcons players and fans after suffering one of the biggest collapses in sports history.
