3. Chef Rambo saved his best dish for last.

Matt Rambo, the eventual PLL MVP, came up big for the Whipsnakes in the title game. He scored the game-tying goal and the game-winning goal in overtime to seal the championship — all in his home town of Philly. Go inside Rambo’s impact on the Whips’ run to PLL glory.

4. While a black cat was taking over Monday Night Football, Virginia assistant Sean Kirwan might have made a cameo.

We are pretty sure this is the moment @Coach_Kirwan thought of another great offensive scheme to score goals and he had to quickly write it down on his phone. #GoHoos https://t.co/svkiPl1o5B
