If you're like most NFL fans, you're probably gearing up to watch the Broncos and Panthers go head-to-head on Sunday.
However, the Super Bowl isn't just humans.
It's also a pretty exciting day for man's best friend. The Puppy Bowl is held on the same glorious day, so lots of pups are super pumped for Sunday.
These furry football players prove you don't need opposable thumbs to be an all-star athlete and, if you ask me, this puppy-packed event might just be the best, not to mention most adorable, thing that has ever happened in the history of organized sports.
I mean, why would you want to watch a bunch of dudes in tight pants chase each other around when you can watch an epic touchdown that ends in a pile of puppies?
Whether these fur balls are studying football plays, training hard on the field or reppin' their teams with some adorable doggy jerseys, it's not hard to see these lil' fellas are totally ready duke it out for the Puppy Bowl trophy.
