Twitter users compare Atlanta streets to Falcons’ Super Bowl collapse
It hasn’t been Atlanta’s finest hour.
Casualties include I-85, I-285, the Downtown Connector, I-20 and now city streets in Atlanta are being swallowed up by sinkholes.
The response has frustrated drivers, but it’s also brought back memories of another collapse: The Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl.
Even as Matt Ryan and the Falcons say they are moving forward, there have been recent reminders of the Falcons' blown 25-point lead - including the Boston Marathon.
For some, it may all be still too raw, for others it’s a moment of comic relief:
