In addition, 15 special needs dogs will also compete to prove that nothing can hold them back, and for the first time ever, Puppy Bowl will spotlight senior dogs in a special exhibition game, as Team Oldies and Team Goldies go head-to-head in the all-new Pro-Dog Halftime Showdown. 

New elements being added this year include an inside look at shelter staff cheering on their puppy players and a spirited Barking Lot Tailgate party hosted by Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, with special appearances by Todd Graves, owner and founder, and his dog Cane III.
