If you thought Super Bowl LIX was the only notable sporting event of the weekend, you’d be sorely mistaken. Instead, the most notable football matchup taking place is Team Speed vs. Team Cenat in tonight’s Super Bowl LIX Flag Football contest.

Ahead of the game, each team’s respective captain – streamers IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat – engaged in some trash talk.
Their beef got so intense that Team Cenat coach Angel Reese had to step between the two. She told Cenat he “didn’t even need to talk,” since their QB Michael Vick is “legendary.”

Team IShowSpeed had no slouch on their side. Their quarterback is 2015 NFL MVP Cam Newton. Unsurprisingly, both men had some highlight plays in the first half.

Reese made a brief first half quarterback substitution, inserting YouTube sensation Druski into the lineup. He stepped away from his officiating duties and completed a deep pass down the sideline for a long gain.

The game came down to the final seconds. Team Cenat took a late lead on a no-look pass from Vick. But with nine seconds to go, Newton found rapper Quavo, who faked a toss and juked a defender for the game-winning score.
