Last night's Super Bowl XLIXĀ was one of the most exciting football games in recent memory. It featured all the competitiveness, drama, and action one would expect from the two finest teams in the NFL. But even through the last-second game-changing interceptions, dumbfounding play calls, and the parade of depressing commercials that made up this year's American sports spectacular, the true MVP of the night wasn't Tom Brady (or any member of the New England Patriots for that matter).Ā 

It was Katy Perry's shark background dancers.

We would be remiss if we didn't pay tribute to these phenomenal performers and their complete dominance of all social media. It ain't easy to upstage Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Katy Perry, Missy Elliott, and one of the closest title games in NFL history, but somehow these two plush aquatic carnivoresĀ did it.

So with that, we present a look back atĀ The Biggest Moments of Super Bowl XLIX...As Interpreted By Katy Perry's Shark Dancers.
