With a chance to make history, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots floundered in the first half of Super Bowl LI.

After a scoreless first quarter, Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons offence turned it up a notch with a pair of touchdowns — one on the ground from Devonta Freeman and the other a bullet throw from Ryan to Austin Hooper.

And in a moment when many would expect No. 12 to answer right back, Brady did the complete opposite.

The pick-6 was Brady’s first-ever in his 34 post-season games.

The biggest comeback in Super Bowl history is just 10 points, so Brady and company have plenty of work to do in the second half.

(UPDATE: Brady did it!!)

To say the least, Twitter had some fun with Brady’s misfortunes.
