Super Bowl LI Shootout Logo.jpg

Super Bowl LI took place on February 5, 2017 in Houston, TX between the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots. The Patriots defeated the Falcons in dramatic fashion, winning 34-28 in overtime (OT), thereby ensuring anyone who watched the game was exhausted for work Monday morning and therefore compromised patient care.


Before the Game


In the weeks before Super Bowl LI, many experts predicted a shootout between the two teams given that the Falcons had the No. 1 ranked offense and the Patriots had the No. 4 ranked offense. Because of the numerous weapons at the disposal of both quarterbacks (or field generals, as George Carlin would more accurately suggest), such as short bullets, shotguns, and long bombs, emergency crews and trauma teams in the metro Houston area were on high alert and prepared for a potential bloodbath.[1] One hour before kickoff, the medical staff for both teams consulted Medicine to clear all players and coaches before the Super Bowl. Americans were thrilled when President George Bush and Barbara Bush were honorary guests, though the moment was ruined with Super Bowl referee Carl Cheffers accidentally aspirated the coin used during the coin toss.


The Game


The game was a tale of two halves.


The First Half

The Patriots got the ball first. Unfortunately, after an early 3 and out, the Patriots punted the ball to Medicine. The Patriots would struggle getting their offense going, while the Falcons started out fast. The Falcons dominated the Patriots, taking a 21-3 lead into halftime. Gomerblog noted on their Twitter feed that the Patriots were "carrying the football like I carry my pager: looking for any opportunity to give it away." As the score was teetering on the edge of what is considered a blowout, many Americans at Super Bowl parties watching the game took the opportunity to take to discuss more interesting topics like concussions or how both IBM Watson and the Fox NFL Robot were more useful than the Da Vinci surgical robot.


The Second Half

The Patriots remained lackadaisical for most of the 3rd quarter, with the Falcons building their lead up to 25 points with a score of 28-3. At this point, leading experts such as Gomerblog recommended the Patriots become DNR with plans for inpatient hospice given the rate of decline. Fortunately for Patriots Nation, Bill Belichick & Tom Brady remained Full Code and executed the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history.


After the Game


Still unable to process the defeat, members of the Falcons including Dan Quinn and Matt Ryan had only one plausible explanation: it was anesthesia's fault.[2] Short of that, there was no other reason to explain this ultimate of choke jobs.[3]


Fun Facts


Did you know that every time the quarterback goes under center, he is actually examining the center's prostate for lumps or bumps?
