With 8:31 remaining in the 3rd Quarter, Tevin Coleman took a swing pass from Matt Ryan and easily out scampered Rob Ninkovich to the corner of the end zone to extend their lead to 25 points. The Patriots haters across America were quick to fire up their Twitter fingers to light up Brady & Co., and deservedly so; the Patriots looked slow on defense and the offense looked out of sorts.
Here are the best tweets from around that time period, where journalists, athletes and TV personalities were quick to crown the Falcons Super Bowl 51 champions.
Well, that's it. The Atlanta Falcons are Super Bowl champions.

Text from an AFC exec watching: "Red team talent-wise is head and shoulders better than the white team."

They must have all forgotten that New England has the GOAT behind center.
