Puppy Bowl 2022: Recap, MVP, Highlights and Twitter Reaction

The high-scoring affair—which comes with very loose rules, for obvious reasons—was back and forth, with both teams holding a lead at certain points. That said, Team Fluff was consistently able to answer whenever Team Ruff took short-term advantages.

If you're looking for any hints to the finish of the actual Super Bowl, Odell Barkham was consistently the best player for Team Ruff. The Rams will hope his namesake will likewise find the end zone Sunday, though they want it to happen in a winning effort.
