During the 122nd Boston Marathon Monday, a New Englander was still gloating about the Patriots’ Super Bowl LI win over the Atlanta Falcons.

In a photo along the marathon route posted by “Sunday Night Football” on social media, a marathon goer held up a sign with the Falcons’ infamous 28-3 score from the third quarter of the Super Bowl in 2017 that the Falcons went on to lose in overtime.
