The app started by taking a jab at the New England Patriots by sending out a notification with a reference to Deflategate before the big game. 

"It's game day and properly inflated optimism is in the air," the notification read. "Rain or shine, the forecast calls for a champion."

They might not be Super Bowl champions, but at least the Falcons can get a suntan. No tanlines to worry about from the rings, either.
