Any Falcons fan at Sunday's Super Bowl surely felt awful afterward. But how about a Patriots fan who left early and missed the record comeback? That happened to none other than Mark Wahlberg, who attended with his wife and two sons, reports US Weekly. This video shows the Wahlbergs leaving in the third quarter, about the time his beloved Pats were down 28-3 and all seemed lost.
