The Atlanta Falcons weren’t able to keep their Poker Face during the second half and overtime of Super Bowl LI against the Patriots.

With a few weeks to ponder how his team blew a 25-point second half lead, one member of the Falcons turned to Lady Gaga as a possible scapegoat.

Wide receiver Mohamed Sanu told the NFL Network’s Good Morning Football on Friday that Lady Gaga’s 40-minute halftime performance “definitely did” impact the team’s play in the second half.

“Usually, halftime is only like 15 minutes, and when you’re not on the field for like an hour, it’s just like going to work out, like a great workout, and you go sit on the couch for an hour and then try to start working out again,” Sanu said on the NFL Network, via by CBS Sports.

Sanu said he doesn’t “know if you can simulate something like” the lengthy halftime break.

FailClowns finding new excuses

There is some truth to it. The Patriots were well aware of that pause where as Atlanta no clue. I don't think though blaming it Lady Gaga is a good idea for any misfortune in life unless you are Lady Gaga.

I don't think there is anything to this, but, if there is, it may be the only time Gaga does anything that makes me happy.

Their head coach Quinn has been through it when he was with the seachickens so he knew about it. Let's face it, the failclowns nearly petered out against us the last game of regular season. They start too fast and can't keep that pace up for 60 minutes of football. Still if they run the ball 3 times after that incredible catch by JJ, Bryant kicks the FG and they win the biggest game of their careers but they wanted to go for the jugular and it backfired and the defense just couldn't keep going.
