Just hours before kicking off the 2017 NFL regular season against the Kansas City Chiefs, the New England Patriots were taking one last chance to boast about the Super Bowl.

As noted by Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman, the Patriots scoreboard at Gillette Stadium was brandishing the third-quarter score of Super Bowl 52 against the Atlanta Falcons — 28-3.

Of course, we all know what happened from there — the Patriots went on a never-before-seen tear, tying the game in the fourth quarter before scoring the championship-winning touchdown on the first drive in overtime.
