As many of us waited for Super Bowl LII, Puppy Bowl XIV was a welcome diversion. This year, a surprise featured attraction stole the show, Shirley the sloth.

Shirley the sloth was introduced as an assistant referee, and she was brilliant.
Twitter users had some great reactions to Shirley the sloth.
