Falcons effect

An effect where your team or another team in sports choke a big lead in a game, mainly when there's barely any time on the clock.

This term originates from Super Bowl 51 (LI) when the Atlanta Falcons stupidly choked a 28-3 lead against the Patriots somehow.

Viewer: "I can't believe my team choked a bloody 2 point lead in soccer!"
Other viewer: "What a Falcons effect!"
