Ferrell, err Burgundy, joined Jim Fox and Alex Faust for the second period and brought along his delicious, yet filling burrito with him (the two shared an intimate moment during the Kiss Cam). The glass of milk also didn't seem to be a bad choice this time around for Burgundy. 

"This burrito is delicious, but it is filling" meets "Milk was a bad choice" and it's everything we've ever wanted from Ron Burgundy 🌯🥛#GoKingsGo | @_Attendee pic.twitter.com/GlbVJoyGg5
