The NFL Officiating Twitter account might just want to shut it down for the next couple of weeks, because people (including Saints players) are destroying every tweet they post from Atlanta and Super Bowl LIII.

So when the NFL Officiating Twitter account posted the following tweet on Monday, they may have wished they had chosen their words more wisely.
“We’re here in Atlanta setting up to make Mercedes-Benz Stadium Super Bowl Central. #SBLIII,” they wrote.

Of course, they aren’t the only ones that haven’t gotten over “The Non-Call.”

Not everyone is feeling sympathetic, however.
