The hotly billed Super Sunday finale of the National Football League didn’t disappoint. It never does. There was drama everywhere, with winners and losers abounding. The Division 1 table at both top and bottom flipped frequently, with Dublin the ones left without the chair when the music finally stopped. 

The quality of the football in all four divisions was breathtaking at times, considering what was at stake in many of the games. Refreshingly and importantly, there was plenty of physicality to go around as well, most notably in Salthill.
