For New England Patriots fans, March 28 is more than just another day on the calendar—it’s a reason to celebrate one of the greatest comebacks in sports history.
But this year, it wasn’t just Patriots die-hards reliving the moment.
Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of legendary coach Bill Belichick, joined in on the fun with a cheeky Instagram post.
Her message? “Happy 3-28 to those who celebrate.”
Accompanying the post was a mirror selfie featuring Hudson and Belichick, now 72, smiling together.
While the former Patriots coach was decked out in North Carolina Tar Heels gear—fitting, given his new coaching role—Hudson made a bold statement by donning a grey long-sleeve tee congratulating the Atlanta Falcons on winning Super Bowl LI.
The Ultimate Inside Joke
Of course, anyone who remembers that fateful February night in 2017 knows the Falcons didn’t actually win.
In fact, they suffered one of the most painful collapses in Super Bowl history.
Leading 28-3 late in the third quarter, Atlanta watched helplessly as Tom Brady and the Patriots stormed back to score 31 unanswered points, sealing a 34-28 overtime victory.
Since then, “3-28” has become a symbol of resilience and triumph for Patriots fans—and apparently, for Hudson too.
A Relationship Under the Spotlight
Hudson’s post was meant to be lighthearted, but it quickly reignited conversations about her relationship with Belichick, especially their 48-year age gap.
While some fans appreciated the humor, others took the opportunity to point out the generational divide.
“She was 16 when this happened,” one commenter noted, while another exaggerated even further, joking, “Was she even alive for that Super Bowl?”
Despite the online chatter, Hudson has never been one to shy away from criticism.
She continues to share moments with Belichick on social media, showing that their relationship is stronger than the skeptics would like to believe.
Belichick’s History of Trolling
For those wondering if Belichick himself would approve of such a playful jab, history suggests he’s no stranger to rubbing in a victory.
After all, he once named his $225,000 powerboat “VIII Rings,” commemorating his six Super Bowl titles as a head coach with the Patriots and two more as a defensive coordinator with the New York Giants.
And some fans think Belichick might have an extra reason to take a shot at the Falcons.
After parting ways with the Patriots in early 2024, many expected him to land a job with Atlanta—but the offer never came.
One fan summed it up perfectly: “Absolutely diabolical… especially since Atlanta didn’t even give him an offer.”
Engagement Rumors Swirl
While the Super Bowl banter caught fans’ attention, another topic surrounding Hudson and Belichick is heating up—marriage rumors.
During Super Bowl week, Hudson was spotted wearing a massive ring on her left hand, fueling speculation that the couple might be engaged.
According to sources who spoke to Page Six, the possibility of wedding bells isn’t far-fetched.
“They have definitely discussed marriage,” an insider revealed, adding that if they do tie the knot, one thing is certain: “They would definitely get a prenup.”
Still, Hudson reportedly isn’t pressuring Belichick to propose.
“She feels like it will happen when and if the time is right,” the source said.
A New Chapter for Belichick
As Belichick embarks on his first college coaching job at North Carolina, it’s clear that Hudson is an important part of this next phase in his life.
Whether they’re trolling Falcons fans, brushing off online critics, or dodging engagement rumors, one thing is certain—the legendary coach isn’t going through this chapter alone.
