It was a rough game<\/a> for Team Fluff. <\/p>\n

The winners of the 2021 Puppy Bowl have their coveted Lombarky Trophy: Team Ruff, the underdogs after consecutive victories from opponents Team Fluff, won the 17th annual matchup of adoptable pups and dogs. <\/p>\n

Seventy pooches competed in this year\u2019s \u201ccutest game ever played,\u201d reffed by longtime \u201crufferee\u201d Dan Schachner.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a paw-by-paw recap of the riveting rumble. <\/p>\n

Team Ruff\u2019s Archer, an American Staffordshire Terrier, got the game off to a wild start with a penalty for \u201cillegal use of the goal posts\u201d \u2014 ripping off the goal post of the opposing team. <\/p>\n

Ruff\u2019s Muffin, a terrier mix, scored the team\u2019s first touchdown after a fierce tackle from hearing-impaired terrier Marshall \u2014 who\u2019s training to be a support pup for nurses on the front line of the COVID pandemic and was an early contender for Most Valuable Pup. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chow Chow mix Chunky Monkey was penalized for \u201cexcessive slumber\u201d after his snooze on the sidelines. Cute, but no cigar. Still, Twitter<\/a> went wild with the Most Valuable Mood served up by the Chunk himself. <\/p>\n

\n

Later in the first quarter, a brutal tug of war ensued between Muffin and Marshall while nervous Nelly Gus on team Fluff required a bit of a \u201cpup\u201d talk to get his head in the game. Alas, Marshall crossed the goal line for a Team Fluff\u2019s first touchdown. Very Good Boy Milky Way also added to Fluff\u2019s touchdown count in the first quarter. Paulie, a little rascal of a mix, barked right back, winning a touchdown for team Ruff. Teammate Mix Hashbrown tied up the game 21-21 at the end of the first quarter. <\/p>\n

In the second quarter, Great Pyrenees mix Duke got duped by team Fluff\u2019s unflapp<\/a>able offense, giving golden retriever Beliveau the opening for a touchdown, bringing his team up 35-21 after another TD from terrier-bulldog mix Sonic. <\/p>\n

Ruff\u2019s Fletcher, a hearing-impaired beagle mix, scored another jubilant touchdown, with Ruff\u2019s first field goal scored by Tank, an adorable Rottweiler\/boxer, at the end of the first half. Team Fluff remained the top dawgs, no thanks to Fluff\u2019s Erica, a border collie mix who opted to take it easy in a nice quiet corner of the stadium. <\/p>\n

The pups got a rest during the halftime show, performed by a very stimulated band of kittens, led by DJ Grand Master Scratch on the turntables. <\/p>\n

At the start of the third quarter, Team Fluff\u2019s furball of energy, Fozzie, was knocked with a penalty for \u201cpancaking the puppy.\u201d But the Norwegian Elkhound mix still looked fly \u2014 thanks to a special grooming at Harlem\u2019s Doggie Day Spa prior to the big event. Later, Ruff\u2019s Apollo gave Dwight a clear path to the end zone, handing Ruff a three-point lead. The victory didn\u2019t last long, when Fluff\u2019s Beliveau scored again after a rather aggressive tackle into the water bowl at Tank\u2019s expense. <\/p>\n

In the final quarter, crowd favorite Jett \u2014 a two-legged lab with his very own wheeled cart \u2014 made his doggie debut and scored a touchdown for Team Fluff, thanks to an assist from lab\/terrier mix Jay. <\/p>\n

American Staffordshire\u00a0Terrier\/Dutch Shepherd Paulie joined the two-touchdown club for team Ruff, but the team couldn\u2019t keep up with the good boys. Beliveau \u2014 who frankly looked a bit large for a puppy \u2014 scored his fourth touchdown for Fluff. <\/p>\n
Making the game a real paw-biter, Muffin scored another TD for Ruff, bringing the score up to 66-69 with less than a minute left in the game. <\/p>\n

But Team Ruff scrapped his way to a victory for Team Ruff thanks to Big Boss Paulie from New York. After back-to-back wins from Team Fluff in years past, Team Ruff barked its way to legend-hood with a 73-69 final score. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not forget that the MVP of the game \u2014 Marshall, our hearing-impaired Boston terrier \u2014 snagged the esteemed title. Extra treats for Marshall!<\/p>\n

The big matchup was joined by a lineup of celebrity animal lovers: It was hosted by best pals Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg, who set the table tail-gate snacks and drinks \u2014 D-O-double-G, of course, brought the gin and juice. <\/p>\n

\n

First Lady Jill Biden was joined by her rescue German shepherds Champ and Major Biden, delivered a PSA on adopting dogs \u2014 and also wearing masks. Actress Kristen Bell joined the action, fostering rescue pup Java for a day. <\/p>\n

But the real winners of the game were the 70 families who brought home champs after the Puppy Bowl \u2014 according to Animal Planet, every last one of the dogs in every Puppy Bowl get adopted by the time the show airs.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
