'A Bitter End' was the headline of an early edition of The Boston Globe that showed a picture of Tom Brady kneeling on the field of the Houston stadium.

Florida readers learned a different outcome of Super Bowl LI than most Americans, as early editions of the New England newspaper ran a front page that suggested the Patriots lost to the Atlanta Falcons. 

Though wrong, their assumption that the falcons would bring home the Vince Lombardii trophy was shared by the majority of audience members around the world.

The Falcons led the Patriots 28-9 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The New England team, captained by Tom Brady, ended up making an astounding comeback, winning 34-28 in overtime. 

This was the first time the Super Bowl has ever gone to overtime, and was one of the biggest deficit ever overcome by Brady. 

A reporter for ESPN NFL, FIeld Yates, shared a photo of the Globe's early edition front page that was received by someone in Naples on Monday morning, reported CBS. 

The image used on the front, showing Brady kneeling, seemingly defeated, on the field just after the Falcons returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown, taking a lead of 21-0

The editions that were run in the Boston-area ran on the headline 'Win For the Ages' ans showed Brady triumphantly holding the trophy as confetti fell around him. 

It is not clear how many editions were affected, the Boston Globe did not return CBS's request seeking comment.
