Those poor London fans.
One week after the U.K. was subject to the Jacksonville Jaguars’ thrashing of the Baltimore Ravens, British football fans got treated to a Miami Dolphins-New Orleans Saints snoozefest.
And while Miami quarterback Jay Cutler’s lack of effort was on full display, another Dolphins quarterback stole the internet’s attention, as Dan Marino (kind of) showed up looking a little different than normal.
The Dolphins brought a Marino mascot costume to London to fire up the Wembley Stadium crowd, and it’s the stuff of nightmares.

Of course, Twitter lost its collective mind over the frightening head that’s part King Cake Baby and part Frankenstein.

It's like a bad dream. "Yeah Dan Marino was eating children, but it wasn't normal Marino. He had a giant plastic head. And Alf was there." https://t.co/uBcqCKHRQf

1. Don't recall Dan Marino being boss-eyed. 2. This guy might be an upgrade for @MiamiDolphins right now! #NOvsMIA #NFLUK pic.twitter.com/Bimiu22cXP

At least there was something noteworthy from the NFL’s second London game, as the Dolphins and Saints didn’t create many fireworks on the field in New Orleans’ 20-0 win.
