The New England Patriots erased a 25-point lead to stun the Atlanta Falcons and win Super Bowl LI. This first-person account from NRG Stadium in Houston suggests Patriots superfan Mark Wahlberg wasn’t there to see Tom Brady’s incredible heroics because he left early. If true, he’ll never be able to live this down. He’ll have to make, like, 29 more Boston-centric movies as atonement.

UPDATE: Wahlberg said his youngest son wasn’t feeling well.

I had to leave the game early because my youngest son wasn't feeling well. Trust me, I would have loved to be at the stadium -- but family first. Doesn't mean I don't love my Patriots too! ❤
