Puppy Bowl 2026 Recap, MVP, Highlights and Twitter Reaction

While Super Bowl 60 could be a game defined by the defenses, this year's Puppy Bowl saw Team Fluff defeat Team Ruff 73-69 in thrilling offensive shootout that saw two touchdowns in the final 90 seconds.

Lobster Roll seemed to give Ruff the win with a late score that made it 69-66. Fluff got the ball back with 35 seconds remaining and Twilight Barkle picked up the toy as time was expiring.

Twilight employed a dangerous strategy by standing in front of the goal line as the clock was ticking before finally stretching out her neck to break the plane right as time expired. Replay confirmed her touchdown was good.

The 22nd edition of the annual puppy showcase also proved to be a star-making moment for Boba, who took home Most Valuable Puppy honors.

Boba, hailing from the Humane Society of Missouri, scored the first two touchdowns for Team Fluff. Even before the game began, Boba's friends at the Humane Society of Missouri showed him and her teammates some love.

Boba was so energetic right out of the gate that even Dan the Ref couldn't help but dap him up after his second touchdown of the first quarter.

Even though Boba became the breakout star, there were no shortage of good pups on display throughout. Queso and Amelia were the other MVP finalists based on their stellar showings on the big stage.

Miss Coco definitely gave off strong running back vibes with her speed, boundless energy and ability to avoid contact throughout the game.

There was a moment late in the game when Team Ruff thought it was back in control. Pickles was able to kick the ball into the end zone to put Ruff up 62-59.

But when the offenses were so in sync throughout the game, Team Fluff seemed to maintain all composure in the face of adversity thanks to who else but the MVP. Boba took the toy around midfield, avoided the rush and scampered into the end zone to make it a 66-62 game.

Even though Team Fluff is going home with the Lombarky Trophy, the Puppy Bowl is the one sporting event where are truly no losers.
