The Atlanta Falcons know what the significance of Oct. 3 is.
Well, it’s a much-anticipated divisional matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but there is also something a little more to the date that just about any movie fanatic can tell you right off the bat.
Oct. 3 is significant to the movie “Mean Girls,” which the Falcons’ social media team drew a couple of comical references to ahead of Thursday’s prime-time showdown against the Buccaneers
The post was captioned “On Thursdays, we wear throwbacks,” which the Falcons will don in their Week 5 matchup. In the film, “On Thursdays, we wear pink” is one of the biggest phrases used within the social clique:
