‘This Is How I Felt on Election Night:’ Celebs Stunned at Falcons’ Epic Super Bowl Loss

Many celebrity fans were crushed when the Atlanta Falcons lost Super Bowl LI to the New England
Patriots Sunday and they shared their hurt on social media.

During the showdown, the Falcons had a 28-3 lead over the Patriots by the third quarter, virtually guaranteeing a victory. But Tom Brady’s team ultimately snatched the Lombardi Trophy in a 34-28 overtime win, leading to a stunning loss for the Atlanta team.

Falcons fans including Bow Wow, 2Chainz and Questlove all took to Twitter and Instagram to react to the upset for Matt Ryan’s NFC champions.

Bow Wow went from feeling confident…
