A puppy from Colorado scored the game-winning touchdown of the 2023 Puppy Bowl, an 87-83 affair that ended with Team Fluff on top.
Vivianne, listed as a Siberian Husky/Rottweiler/Neapolitan Mastiff mix, hails from the Humane Society Pikes Peak Region. She carried a green stuffed turtle across the goal line after reversing direction and evading a Team Ruff defender.

This year’s Puppy Bowl saw Team Ruff come back from a 31-point deficit to force the first overtime in Puppy Bowl history, according to CNN.
In the end, it was Team Fluff hoisting the “Lombarky Trophy” for a second straight year. Despite Vivianne’s heroics, it was a Team Fluff Pomeranian named Pickle who took home MVP honors.
