Soul-crushing.
How else can you describe what occurred to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night?
Ponder every choke job in the history of sports. You might not find a worse one than the way the Falcons handed the Lombardi Trophy back to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 51 in Houston.
I'm imagining Falcons players as Jean van de Velde from the 1999 British Open standing in a ravine shoeless with their pants rolled up looking helpless.
Van de Velde held a three-shot lead heading into the 72nd and final hole. He only needed a double bogey 6 to secure the Claret Jug.
