Let's be perfectly clear: the NFL Playoffs have been ruthless this year. You could start with the Minneapolis Miracle, which, on the other end of things, cruelly denied the New Orleans Saints a shot at the Super Bowl in a mere ten seconds.

After Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger fired off an embarrassing two first-half turnovers that ended in 14 points for Jacksonville, he put them in an impossible 28-7 hole just shy of halftime. And this bakery was not going to let him forget that—or his five turnovers (two of the pick-six variety) in October:

Seven turnovers for seven turnovers, sent straight to Big Ben. These two women—despite their kindly smiles—are savages. You can likely expect those turnovers to taste extra salty.
