Everyone thought the Super Bowl was over when Atlanta jumped out to a huge lead, right? Professional tennis star and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Genie Bouchard was as sure as every other sentient non-New-England-based viewer.

She was so confident the Falcons would win that she agreed to go on a date with a random guy on Twitter if the Patriots were to come back to win. You know what happened next: the Pats stormed back to claim the game, improbably, in overtime.

Bouchard kept her word.

Lol it made a Twitter moment. And I will do it, I stay true to my word 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/0rOUc0xJsC

The 23-year-old Canadian took the man, John Goehrke, on a date to a Brooklyn Nets game Wednesday night.

Just met my 'Super Bowl Twitter Date' John 😊 On our way to the @BrooklynNets game! @punslayintwoods pic.twitter.com/DHRgY46smd

That’s not the end of the story, though.

The best part is: the dude got a second date! They’d “for sure” have a second date, Bouchard told TMZ.

"He's normal," Bouchard said. "He's a normal man…It's complete luck. I'm so lucky."

This win might be even more improbable than the Patriots’ comeback.
