Puppy Bowl 2016 results: Star leads Team Ruff to victory over Team Fluff

some   athletes are just born with that coveted it factor, the ability to turn it up when the games matter most. Tom Brady. Joe Montana. Johnny Unitas. Players like these come around one a generation, and when they do you can't help but sit back and watch in awe as they leave their paw prints everywhere on the field.
It's time to add another star to that list, Star the puppy that is, a beast of a back finally living up to her lofty name.
Star, a 20-week-old Chow Chow/Labrador mix, was named the MVP of Puppy Bowl XII after leading Team Ruff to an impressive 70-44 victory over Team Fluff. She earned the honor after scoring three touchdowns and registering one takeaway in the win.
But no play will be more memorable than her double-touchdown midway through the second quarter, a pair of scores that put the game away, made the chicken cheerleaders go crazy and that will no doubt be remembered for years to come. After all, it was the first double touchdown in Puppy Bowl history.
The scores capped off a 28-3 first half run for Team Ruff, one which Team Fluff was never able to come back from.
Of course, the game was not without controversy. Moments before Star's double-touchdown, officials discovered a deflated ball being used in Team Ruff's huddle.
