Puppy Bowl XIX was one for the record books. Animal Planet’s annual showdown between Team Ruff and Team Fluff went into overtime for the first time in franchise history after Team Ruff powered through a 31-point deficit to tie the game. In the end, Team Fluff held strong and won 87-83, taking home the prestigious “Lombarky” trophy.
This year’s Puppy Bowl, which helps raise awareness about rescue organizations(Opens in a new tab), featured 122 puppies from 67 shelters. Divided into two teams, the dogs have to drag a variety of chew toys into an end zone. It really doesn’t matter which team goes where, just bask in the truly adorable chaos (like a double touchdown).
Even though the rules don’t really matter and all these pooches are winners, that didn’t stop the internet from getting extremely invested in the game. Here are some of the best Twitter reactions about Puppy Bowl XIX:
Ruff-uree, what kind of call was that?
