28-3 redux? NFL Twitter reacts to Falcons' latest huge collapse

Cam Newton talks about upcoming game against Seattle and playing football the Patriot way.

Patriots fans biding their time before New England's Week 2 clash with the Seattle Seahawks may have witnessed a familiar sight Sunday.

The Atlanta Falcons opened up a 20-0 lead on the Dallas Cowboys in the first quarter, led by 19 points at halftime and looked like they were cruising to a Week 2 win.

Then disaster struck: Dallas stormed back to pull within two points with under two minutes to play, then miraculously recovered an onside kick to set up a game-winning field goal that capped a stunning 39-37 Cowboys win.

The Falcons blowing a massive second-half lead -- hmm, where have we seen that before?

This loss wasn't as bad as Atlanta blowing a 28-3 lead to the Patriots in Super Bowl LI. But it was darn close, and the Falcons' latest epic collapse had NFL Twitter in a frenzy.

Take it away, internet peanut gallery:

Damian Lillard might want to direct his answer to Falcons head coach Dan Quinn, who has overseen both of Atlanta's massive chokes.
