SEATTLE — In the aftermath of the Seattle Seahawks’ 28-24 loss to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday night, the Seattle Police Department took to Twitter and took a swipe at Broncos fans.

The Seahawks beat the Broncos, 43-8, in Super Bowl XLVIII in East Rutherford, N.J., on Feb. 2, 2014.

And after Seattle’s football team blew it against the Patriots with quarterback Russell Wilson throwing an interception in the final minute from the 1-yard line, its police department decided to take out its frustrations on Denver’s fans.

And now we all know what it's like to be a @Broncos fan.

Many Broncos fans ripped into the department for what many called a “classless tweet.”

But Andrew Mason, a columnist with the Broncos’ website, had a perfect retort.

Not until you win two titles, you don't. RT @SeattlePD: And now we all know what it's like to be a @Broncos fan.
