Social reaction: Longhorns take to Twitter as Patriots win the Super Bowl
Posted February 6th, 2017
The NFL wrapped up its football season on Sunday as New England beat Atlanta in Super Bowl LI. New England and former Texas standout Malcom Brown trailed by 25 points in the third quarter, but the Patriots rallied for a 34-28 win in overtime.
According to Twitter, more than 27.6 million Super Bowl-related tweets were sent during the live broadcast on FOX. One of those tweets belonged to Sam Ehlinger, who will be a freshman on Texas’ football team this fall.
I feel for the Falcons, I know what it's like to lose in OT at NRG Stadium🙄

Ehlinger was the quarterback for Westlake in the 2015 Class 6A, Division I championship game, which, like the Super Bowl, was played at Houston’s NRG Stadium. The Chaparrals were upended by Galena Park North Shore in overtime of that contest, and that has not been forgotten by LSU signee K’Lavon Chaisson. Chaisson, who recently chose LSU over Texas, attends North Shore.
