Everyone loves the Super Bowl. But the Super Bowl is especially exciting when the football field is much, much smaller and the game is much, much shorter and all the football players are puppies.
Get excited for the big game, and not featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. I’m talking about Team Ruff or Team Fluff, who will be competing in Puppy Bowl XIX at Geico Stadium.
The Puppy Bowl is an alternative to the big game aimed at raising awareness of animal adoption. It airs on the same day as the Super Bowl and is known for being a sweet, cute, and entertaining substitute for gaming. At Puppy Bowl, everyone wins, but especially the 122 adoptable puppies from 67 shelters and animal shelters across the country.
