While The Papa John's-QAnon commercial hit on so many levels, I thought the standouts were Aidy Bryant doing double-duty as Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians (Bryant had me with the "ask slowly" moment), and Beck Bennett's Boomer Esiason I wish it wasn't the end of the NFL season[...]

On the plus side, "Weekend Update" can do no wrong, the "Twins" sketch was our favorite for taking a turn we didn't see coming (both below), "The Loser" went as absurd as I needed it to go, and MGK f***ing killed it.
