Twitter Celebrates March 28 With Falcons' Blown Lead In Super Bowl LI
BOSTON (CBS) -- Certain dates on the calendar have become unofficial "holidays" on the internet in recent years, just because of the specific month and day. For example, March 14 (3/14) is known as "Pi Day" in honor of the number. Many Star Wars fans celebrate "Star Wars Day" on May the 4th as a play on the famous line, "May the Force be with you."
March 28, however, is not likely to catch on as a holiday anywhere outside of New England. But Patriots fans on Twitter celebrated 3/28 on Tuesday in a way that only they could appreciate: as a reminder of the Falcons' blown 28-3 lead to the Patriots in Super Bowl LI.

March 28 may not have the same kind of popularity anywhere outside of New England, but Patriots fans will surely enjoy the sight of 3/28 on the calendar for years to come.
